"Dedicate your life to those things that capture your heart."

What I cherish most in this life is the time I spend with my family and horses.  Horses, to me, represent many things.  They allow me to borrow freedom - if only for a few moments, to feel graceful on days when I am anything but, to risk it all when I only want to cling to security, and to find peace in the strength of others.  The journey I take every day with them teaches me that life is about being strong enough to lead, compassionate enough to compromise, and humble enough to seek support when it is needed.   I always tell people horses are the noblest creatures on earth because they can not lie and they can not hide.  They are the gift of hope, of love, of accomplishment, of joy, and of tenderness for anyone who is blessed enough to have them in their lives.

"A man has a brain the size of a cantaloupe and a heart the size of a peach.  A horse has a brain the size of a peach and a heart the size of a cantaloupe.  I often wonder who's the better for which."
 
--Pat Parelli



"When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk; He trots the air; The earth sings when he touches it; The basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes; He is pure air and fire."
 
-- William Shakespeare





"It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires.  It must abandon itself to its master passion."
