Winter Into Spring

A last look at winter as we slide slowly into spring: Spirit looking fluffy and wintery. And the next photo: Taz looking kinda goofy yet noble.

It's a challenge to exercise the horses regularly this time of year because the days are short and I don't have a lit ring. 15 minutes at dusk in the roundpen isn't ideal but it keeps the boys from losing muscle tone. Spirit, especially, needs regular exercise to maintain his muscles in order to keep his old injury from starting to bug him.

It's fascinating to me (and reassuring) that most healing modalities work on ANY beings: humans, horses, dogs, etc. Reminds me that we are all one and connected. I did Namakoshi Shiatsu and Acupressure on Spirit's back yesterday for a couple of hours. He was really enjoying it (me too).

Taz has one leg that he is getting a bit 'trippy' with. Worked with him to get energy flowing through to earth. Will do some Shiatsu on him in the next few days too.

Riding is a lot of fun right now, although my cheeks and feet sometimes get cold. Crisp, clear - the air so fresh and bracing.
