❤️ We miss them all the same.

Some days, I’m convinced I can still see him… out in the field, head over the stable door, stood in the yard. My brain tricks me into thinking that he’ll be there when I walk round the corner because for so long, he was.

Some days, I’m convinced I can still hear him… that low pitched whicker, his shoes on the concrete, the sound of hoofbeats cantering across the field. My brain tricks me into thinking that when I look up, he’ll be there, because for so long, he was.

Some days, I’m convinced I could still reach out and touch him… feeling his presence, that soft fluffy coat, that thick silky mane, my brain tricks me into thinking that when I reach out my hand, he’ll be there, because for so long, he was.

Some days, I’m convinced my heart will never heal. That the void he has left behind will never be filled, that I’ll forever feel these overwhelming waves of sadness and grief, because for so long he was there, and now he isn’t.

But the truth is, the reason we can still see, hear and feel them is because they never really left. Their bodies were never destined to walk this earth forever, but their spirit and their heart?
They never leave.

Ending the show, and day 4 on high note! Our slogan for today was “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. Sunday was “Simons day”, due to Gus, Mia’s horse getting an abscess. Mia and Simon did amazing today (first time she’s ever rode him) 🤪, as well as, Tucker showed Simon, in Tuckers FIRST EVER class! Simon did everything from showmanship, to leadline, to horsemanship, and pleasure. We love the big dinosaur. That’s why he’s todays best favorite animal. 😂🦄🦕
