Such strength and passion in this liberating write, Karen. Can sense the one-ness between you and your beautiful mount. Exhilarating and cathartic. Who can fail to feel brand new after a ride of this nature?! Excellent! xx

A freedom woman and horse work out together, it's a telepathic ride behind the reins and the flairing nostrils of both species with a gush of fresh air recharging the system, Karen! Powerful Yielding, indeed! Have a great summer...Happy Birthday!

great one karen...you KNOW i like this. You've done a good job describing the total infinite freedom, oneness of flesh... the awesome power of muscle and sinew moving with you... totally in sync...body and being.....cares and troubles of life whooshing out of your head...dissapating powerless into the clouds.

life does tend to get in the way of our personal joys doesn't it...
