Iain, my son, had the oppurtunity to ride a champion American Quarter Horse. David Avery the International Representive for the AQHA invited us to come and enjoy an afternoon with his horse. Iain helped prepare the horse for the saddle, brushing the coat, putting on the saddle blanket. He stood next to David and learned the tips to cinch the saddle, tightening as the horse breathed. The stir-ups had to really be brought up for Iain's height. Wally, just a nickname, is a champion Western Pleasure and Rodeo horse. He is a regular working horse too. He has such a great temperment and it was a great lesson for Iain to ride this horse. Even though Wally knew he had a new rider, he let Iain take control and ride the property at his leisure.
I write to awaken the mind more fully, heal and enliven the heart, and strengthen the spirit of you and I. I will try to be as transparent as I can be, while trying to make these changes. I am an individual who has lots of fears to overcome, lots of healing to do, and a long road to reclaim my godhood or place with God in the Universe.
