An hour of horseback riding is like an hour with an excellent therapist. I think the pounding of a horse’s hooves echoes the pounding of the human heart. It soothes a person’s soul. Horses are so incredibly intuitive. They sense how a person is feeling. They seem to absorb one’s worries and dispel them to the winds.
A few days ago my husband and I went riding on our property. While we were riding, we saw a red tail hawk soar down to the ground. We didn’t see the hawk for a few seconds, but then I saw him sitting in a tree with a snake hanging from his beak. It is comforting to know that as much as man tries to interfere nature continues to work as intended.
