Horses are the perfect escape for moms who need a break!

A couple years ago I found myself depressed, fatigued, and not really happy about life anymore. I have 4 kids and a crazy life. My husband was in school full time and worked part time- which for all who know that means NO MONEY. I was miserable to say the least and had no idea why.  I soon discovered the reason....I had nothing in my life that I did to benefit MY happiness. My life evolved around my kids and husband. Now dont get me wrong that's great and all, but something was missing. I was desperate to feel like my old self agian. My husband became my inspiration. I followed his footsteps and decided to go back to school...and so I enrolled into the equine program with no knoweledge of horses at all! As a matter of fact I had only been on one trail ride as a kid! But that one trail ride stuck with me my entire life and I often thought back to that happy moment. I knew I wanted that back. I wanted horses to be in my life. That was to be the thing I did for myself. I soon found myself full of hope and excitement. I found a farm to volunteer at to start learning the basics the summer before school started.  It was wonderful! That was two years ago! Horses are very theraputic animals when it comes to soothing the soul. It is a partnership built on trust, respect, loyalty, and friendship. It is the highlight of my week to go for my lessons and spend time at the barn! So I encourage all to experience the joys of horses for yourself! But be warned....you might just fall in love and be hooked for life! If you want to learn more check out my blog! Life with Horses!
