I went solo on the first one, Tay Martin joined me on the second.
Rock packed camp in and out and got in some more saddle time. Or saddle-less riding time as it may be.
It’s been work, ride, pack, hike, learn, spend time with people I care about, eat, sleep, repeat these past few weeks (months?). While there needs to be more time for dancing, I’m rather happy with that.
I lost 3 people in my greater circle these past 2 months. 2 acquaintances and one family member. All people who made the world brighter, all gone unexpectedly and much too soon.
For a while I didn’t quite know what to do with that.
What I decided on is to do more of what matters, and less of what doesn’t. More doing meaningful things, making time for people who mean a lot to me, and less paying attention to noise.
More being fully present and enjoying being where my feet are.
Less screentime because I can either live my life and put a dent in what I want to accomplish, or I can stare at a screen, talking about life or living vicariously through others.
Today is a gift and we’re not getting that time back.
I don’t sit still well when I’m sad because if I do, then I’m just sad, not doing anything else. So I keep busy, mostly outside.
We’re fortunate to have some amazing client Mustangs in for gentling/training at Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy , all owned by equally amazing people.
We have new wild ones that will be looking for great homes and a few not so new ones that are starting to turn the corner. And Dragonfly who’s lovely and might have found her person too, fingers crossed.
The Ambassador Mustangs are fat – some more than others – and happy, enjoying pasture life when we’re not out adventuring.
Thank you for being here. If you’re reading this/watching this little video, that must mean you’re alive and I hope you make the most of today and all the days.
