Thank you Jane for sharing a story of another wonderful horse. I feel we are so lucky to have had our lives touched by such talented and sensitive creatures. Horses make us better people. Look for a blog I’ll be posting soon on spending the day at a John Lyons clinic…what an amazing experience! To have met the great horseman in person…what a treat. I can’t wait to share…

Horses are amazing, I love how Rain made it very clear that she wanted to be a child’s horse and really loves that role .She reminds me of a horse i had years ago that foundered and i couldnt use him for myself any more but he loved helping kids in their therapy sessions and was very perseptive in knowing each childs limitations and what they needed from him . One time a little boy who had trouble listening to instructions was riding him and trying to get him to go fast, and just getting over excited and a little rough so Sky went into a very bouncy canter which he would never normally do, then the boy got a little scared and calmed right down and began listening to my instructions and following them .Another time this dear little girl only had a short time to live and was in a lot of pain but wanted to ride anyway and Sky was so incredibly slow and calm with her he just seemed to know what he had to do. He went on to help several other children and a couple of adults in his special way .he was an Arabian and had been bottle raised as he was an orffan.I could go on and on about him oh well .love your blog .

This is a great story. It’s always great when a horse works out for the kids.
