Cisco and Texas

one of the greatest joys for me in this life
has been working with horses
i grew up around Quarter Horses
i will always be thankful for the time i have been able to spend around them
they are incredible animals
there is one thing you learn about these majestic creatures
they never tell a lie
they are true in all they do
when i would start a young horse, or break a young horse,
i spent the first few days asking him or her to trust me
kind of like God does with us over and over again
kindness gets the best response
once they give you their trust
it's pretty simple from then on
i always took it slow and easy
spoke with a low gentle voice
there is no explaining the feeling of a young horse deciding you are trustworthy
if you don't betray that trust,
the horse will do anything for you
this picture with today's musing is of two horses i broke and trained
Cisco and Texas
they were ours until last spring
until we had to sell the farm
they have a great home close by
sometimes i go by there and just watch them
if they see me,
they come running
