Patience and Time...

It's been a while since I last wrote something in my journal. And since the last writing, LadyGrace turned 7 months old. Everyday she continues to amaze me with her desire to be so "normal" and truly happy. I love to spend as much time as I can with her.

Today, it snowed AGAIN and I let her out for a while. The snow is soft on her hooves so, if she decided to run around a little, it won't hurt. I want so much for her to be able to experience a horse's life to the fullest! And, I'm not just talking about shows (which she probably will never be in) but about enjoying her environment and being happy.

Sometimes I think she would like me to live in the stall with her and be with her 100% of the time. Until I know what is going to happen with the OCD problem that she has in both legs, I am not sure that I should have a companion horse. I would like one for her as I know she'd like to have a friend close by who can truly understand her feelings and whom she can communicate.

Each day I find pure joy and pleasure being with her. Just looking in her soulful eyes tells me how much intuitive depth she has. I can also see when she's ready to do some pretty devilish things like suddenly running or kicking! She has the special way of throwing her head around when she's getting ready to do something devilish.

Since we began ground training, she is slowly learning to respect me not just want, want, want those treats! And I have learned to respect her so much more. We both have a lot to teach each other.

Patience is a great tool to learn. And we both have the time to learn a lot about patience.

I'm getting the new video for YouTube up so I can let the world see how much she's progressed and how playful she is!

Need to finish that up and stop worrying about her future.

I need and intend to be fully present each and everytime I am with her. She deserves that from me!
