Hello! Who are you? Hi! Are you our new friend? (This is what we think is happening) 😅

Another evening of watching the clouds roll in on the farm.

It has turned out to be a beautiful evening with fog starting to form by the creek from a quick shower that came through today.

The view never gets old. 🥰

Another exciting day at the farm. A new member to the farm has arrived today. 🐴

With the uncertainty of the weather, we tucked everyone in and now it's nice again. 😅 Welcome to KY. 🤦🤣

Sometimes, we are meant to be a witness in those quiet moments and not a participant.

I think we interrupt horses too much.

Not because we're unkind.

Because we're enthusiastic.

A horse finally lies down.

We walk over.

Two horses begin quietly grooming each other.

We reach for our phone.

One horse chooses to stand beside us.

We stroke them.

A curious horse starts investigating something.

We call their name.

A horse looks toward the horizon with complete attention...

and we ask for it back.

I don't think we mean to interrupt.

We're just excited to be part of whatever beautiful thing is unfolding.

I've caught myself doing it countless times.

Then one morning, I stopped.

Eclipse was standing quietly, watching something in the distance.

I have no idea what had captured his attention.

A bird.

A squirrel.

Another horse.

The wind.

For a moment I almost walked over to see if he wanted scratches.

Instead, I stayed where I was.

He never looked at me.

He never asked for anything.

After a while, whatever had held his attention passed, and he went back to grazing.

Nothing extraordinary happened.

Except perhaps this:

For once, I didn't interrupt a moment that didn't belong to me.

The more time I spend with horses, the more I wonder if love isn't always about joining in.

Sometimes it's about quietly protecting another being's experience from our own enthusiasm.

Maybe one of the greatest gifts we can offer those we love...

is the freedom to finish their own moments.

If today’s post resonated with you, you’ll find much more in my book, Chosen, Not Obeyed. It’s an invitation to see horses—and perhaps yourself—through a different lens.

🇺🇸🐴 Happy 4th of July from all of us at Silver Creek Farm!

We hope you have a fun and safe holiday with family, friends, and your four-legged companions. As you celebrate, remember that fireworks can be stressful for horses, so be sure they're secure, have plenty of water, and are checked on throughout the evening.

Have a wonderful Independence Day, stay safe, and give your horses an extra pat from us!
❤️🤍💙
