Quote for the week


He who listens and sees with his heart has the ability to change the whole world

There are people who go through the world listening with their ears, that is what most humans do. They also judge with their eyes, often discarding something because it isn't perfect. It is a pity because those practices cause them to miss out on so much.
This is a picture of Salty the Wonder Horse, he is 24 years old and has a bum knee. Salty has no idea his knee is bad, he lopes around the pasture and is the faithful companion of Mushboy.
If there hadn't been people in Salty's life who could listen and see with their hearts Salty would have ended up in a slaughter house in Canada. Instead he has spent the past few years teaching Mushboy to communicate. Salty is a wonderful therapy horse and has worked wonders. Imagine how different things could have been if people didn't use their hearts.
Winter is coming and there are a lot of horses like Salty who need someone to use their hearts. Take in a horse if you can, if not consider donating to a local rescue-your time is as important as your money. Who knows you could end up with a wonder horse of your own!
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!

I wished I had the room to take in all the wonder horses! But there is so much I can do with only 2 acres. If I did not have my two horses now, I would highly consider rehabilitating horses. We do not have a rescue here on this side of the Columbia River. I wished we did, because I would be spending all my time there.
