2020 Vision

2020. Sounds like a year in a futuristic novel. Yet, it is here, and we’re already involved in it.  I’m not sure how the horses deal with time. I do know for certain that they know when it’s mealtime! They pace restlessly in their stalls before breakfast and huddle near the pasture gate when four o’clock, the “dinner hour” nears.

We’ve had lovely cool weather, and the rain has left us with grass for grazing. When I look out at the horses, heads down nibbling at the grass, as they are meant to do, I want this to go on forever. I feel so lucky to have been able to create this place (made possible by generous donations) for horses to live out their lives with care and in comfort. The horses that are here now and the horses that are buried here remind me of how much the natural world has to offer us.  I hope this new year, 2020, is full of opportunities for all of us to connect more with nature’s gifts. Well, from my window, I see the horses coming up to the pasture gate. I don’t need a clock to know it’s dinnertime!

Happy New Year!
