Riding my horse is like I am flying. It is that moment with that horse where you both are moving together. Your mind is void of everything except the connection with your horse. The fear is gone. I have 3 very different horses. Grace is my soul mate. We are so much alike and have grown together over the last 3 years. She came to the farm as a rescue as did I. I stumbled upon the rescue farm in my darkest time and found life and freedom with the horses. She taught me everything I really needed to know about life, relationships, spirituality, health, joy, love, freedom. We finally had that moment of flying yesterday. I had finally given her 100% of me and she gave 100% back. It wasn’t a quick thing, it had taken us both over 2.5 years to get to that place. And we got there. To be in harmony with a 1000lb animal that cannot speak my language is impressive. Especially for someone who has lived a life of fear. Horses are prey animals, they know fear and in order to connect she had to let go of her fear as well. I was told Grace would find her gait when she was ready and when I was ready. It can’t be predicted when that will occur but when it did I knew real peace, joy, love, connection with Grace but most of all connection with God. A God who created us both, who created the beautiful mosaic of us when I could only see a piece of it. Who gave me the strength to never give up, People find their true self in countless different ways. I found me and the love of God through a horse named Grace when we flew together.

Diana, I am so glad you got to feel that connection! I know it, too, and there’s nothing like it that I have found on this earth. Thank you for posting this. Since I quit riding last year, I have missed it so much. You gave it back to me for minute and I could feel my pony and me flying together! May you have many rides like that with Grace.
