Comment on The Importance of a Balanced Mouth by Susan

It was good of you to post this. A lot of people, myself included for a while, have no idea that what many dentists don’t treat horses’ teeth as their teeth would be naturally.
I had no idea that traditional equine dentistry was just another way that we were putting human ideas onto our horses.
Thanks for posting!

I’m so sorry to hear about Roxi, Sharon! She was so sweet and loved so dearly. My thoughts are with you right now, knowing that it is very hard to lose such a beloved companion. You gave her a great life.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Sharon. Your landscape must seem so incomplete without her.

This is beautiful, Sharon. Dave and I know how you and Wayne feel. When our beloved Ian passed away two years ago at age 14 I noted that there was a hole in my heart where once there was Ian. The raw-ness of that hole has healed, but the hole is still there.

Roxi will always be with you.

Sending love,
Sharon

Lovely poem sis. It made me cry as I am sure it will do for the others who read it. Hope it helps you heal.
In the meantime, one foot in front of the other, without thought, for a while. Even if it takes you in a direction you usually don’t take.

Long live Roxi!

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

Hugs to you Sharon, I know how hard this is right now…

Comment on Grass – The Carpet of Motivation by Mona

This article is much appreciated. I’ve been working on using grass as a motivator for my miniature horse guide, but now I have clear directions. Just one more way to bond with my girl–and make her happy, too.
