The Chloe Chronicles
Part 2, How I See It
Whenever a new horse comes to my stable, I feel like a kid at Christmas. The possibilities seem endless. There’s always that chance for this new partnership to be the one. The one that will make you a champion, or a paycheck, or maybe even famous.
What I have learned after many of these Christmas morning experiences is that they are all the one. Some horses are better for sport, some are better for teaching the inexperienced rider, some are better suited for high dollar sales, but all horses are here to teach us to be better today than yesterday & to wish to be even better tomorrow.

What I love about my new Christmas morning horse, Chloe, is that she wants to help me learn. If I concentrate calmly on my work with her & do it with my mind set solely on having fun with her, this horse will interact as if we have ESP. Extra sensory perception, sounds like sci-fi doesn’t it? I can tell you, it’s definitely not fictional & I bet science can track it. I plan to demonstrate in these Chronicles, exactly what is possible in a horse/human relationship when the mind of the human is kind & the mind of the horse is happy.
Why bother? Shouldn’t I be writing some how-to’s for horse trainers or lists of things that happy or successful riders do in their daily routine? Nope. There’s plenty of that out there already- just look at the popular titles on Medium!
Everyone wants someone else to tell them what to do.
Well I have never wanted someone else to tell me what to do. I hate motivational talks, I love inspirational ones. That’s my goal here- to inspire you to take your own path. My only advice to you is, find a horse to carry you on your journey. They will never allow you to forget why you chose the path you did & how joyful the journey really is.
