I Dreamed Him Into My Life...

I will never forget the day, I first met him. The way he confidently walked up to the fence and submissively looked him my eyes. " So you are the one? ". Hardest thing was to know I had found my horse, and not take him home with me. Every night, I laid my head down on my pillow, I looked at his pic on my screen saver and said , " Esco come to me." It started in late Jan. , by April he was here. Mike, says, I dreamed him into my life. Others say, he flew into my life as if on some mission. Me? I have no answer's. I can only say, the horse moved my soul since day one. My life has never been the same since the day he arrived. The people, I have met over Escogido.......have been nothing more than beautiful. This horse has been a gift, on so many levels. SO many levels.

Gratitude

Mike my trainer and Mike my husband and Esco have all three taught me something. Gratitude, on a deep sense. Be grateful and thankful for all things in life. And I truly mean for all things. For the first time, I look up at the evening sky and really look at it. And I am grateful for this sky and the stars. Grateful every night I have a bed to sleep in, a couch to sit on...etc

Gratitude, such a simple word. Many, I think have forgotten what it means. I am a simple person. I enjoy experiences in life. Not shopping or things. Riding has significantly improved. Esco and I have really been working hard. And we will continue to work hard, first show this March!

We have been working on our Dressage Tests. This takes me a bit longer to learn new material, but I have done so. Osinski is a Judge, it is so nice to ride a test for him and be able to hear what we did well, and what we need to work on. Hard work, and achievement, makes my soul feel alive and free.
We indeed are grateful, so grateful! May sound real simple, but riding it gives me purpose, freedom and goals to achieve!
