This is an incredible must see video for all equestrians.....It brought me to tears......

It captures in 2 minutes what is impossible to explain............

The relationship between a horse and their rider is inequivocally profound.........

I am an animal person and I have had relationships with many furry family members over my almost 50 years of life.........

Yet this one is different........one I had not understood at this level until the past year..........

I have loved all my animals, dearly.......I have held them in my arms as they have taken their very first breath of life.....I have fed them, bathed them, stayed up nights while they recovered from illness....

I have carried them when they couldn't walk, I have made them birthday cakes and dressed them in Halloween costumes........

I have fed them with feeding tubes and removed their stitches.......I have given mouth to mouth resesitation on an occasion I would rather forget........I have held them as they have filled their lungs with their very last breath..........

Yet the relationship with this animal, this pony, is more faceted.......... it lives in a deeper place than even I have ever known or experienced.........it's presence in our lives occupies more space in the crevices of our hearts......

Perhaps it is because I get to experience this relationship with my daughter.....

I am so grateful.........

For all that our pony has taught us.........for the ways in which he calms us, trusts us, loves us and heals us..........for the way he feeds the wellness that makes us feel whole......

I'm so thankful for how graciously he takes care of us........for how patiently he cares for us .......for his strength and his protection......

For his tireless efforts to teach us.....for the way he breathes life into us the way only he can do.........

He has changed our lives in ways I could never explain in words......you would have to see him, together with my baby girl............

Then you would understand............

We are so grateful for him and for his life with us........
