When choosing the perfect horse here is something to consider;
how would it be if the horse chose you?
I've had strong gut reactions around horses coming into my life even if it's not me that is to be their owner. For instance I met and got to know a horse called Blue who has lived in the neighborhood for a few years. Blue is an attractive palomino quarter horse. I witnessed Blue go through three different owners.
One of the previous owners would ride this horse ragged, Blue would fall and hurt his knees so I would give Blue Reiki treatments. Blue is receptive to energy medicine and we connected through this exchange.
One time Blue called out to me as I was walking past his corral. When I went to see what was up I noticed his water trough was empty, his owner had forgotton to fill it and it was 110 degrees!
This owner sold Blue to a couple who ended up having a baby and didn't have time for Blue anymore. Blue's health deteriated until he could barely walk. Watching Blue go down hill was rough, I knew I was to be an influential energy in his life but adopting him was out of the question as I already had enough horses to look after.
This is when Taylor entered the scene. Taylor signed up for my horse mentorship program and fell in love with Blue the first time she met him. When the owners were ready to let him go, (by this time Blue had been diagnosed with navicular a degenerative hoof disease) Taylor adopted him.
To watch Taylor and Blue come together was like seeing two old friends reunite. We even suspected that Blue was Taylor's child hood dog returning through Blue in order to reconnect with Taylor.( Read Did Taylor's childhood dog Penny 'walk in' to Blue the horse?).
Within six months Taylor was able to ride Blue out into the mountains using just a bareback pad and a rope halter. Blue is a part of my life, I see him everyday as he lives outside my house.
