Because we all need somewhere where we’re at peace

Sanctuary is something that we all need… a place to go where we can find peace and solidarity to our somewhat mundane existence. Everyone’s sanctuary is different, some find it in faith, some find in the forest with the birds and squirrels that go about there daily business of trying to find food for themselves. Me? I find it in (what some people would class) a potentially very dangerous animal…my horses.

I’m a very lucky person in the fact that I have always grown up around them and from the day I was born I was sitting on my own pony. These are the memories that I cherish the most, the first beach ride, the first time I cantered, falling off at nearly every jump and then being plopped back on only to fall off again. These memories are my very existence. The love that I have for these animals is something that very few understand, something that I struggle to understand myself…how can I be so in love and in tune with something that doesn’t even speak? I count myself very lucky that I have the opportunity to have horses in my life, I often wonder what I would be doing if I didn’t have them? Would I have gone to college and uni? What kind of job would I have? What kind of person would I be? Odds are that if I didn’t have my own horses I would’ve asked to have riding lessons anyway. My first two ponies were amazing, they taught me that if I couldn’t ride a good old fashioned kick along naughty pony, then I didn’t deserve one that was a push button. My mum’s horse taught me that not all cobs are slow pokes! My horse that I have now is the most amusing, loving and thuggish one yet. I love him. He’s got the attitude of a gobby teenager with the looks to match and when we get it right., He feels like Valegro (just a bit smaller and less fancy). Tonight he decided that being a dressage horse was not his thing, he simply couldn’t go into canter normally, he had to run into it. And so the battle began, I admit that just to get a nice canter out of him, I did let him run, but only because I was so frustrated I was on the verge of crying. I put him in, untacked him and just sat on my grooming box staring at him.. Wondering how something so easy was so hard for him to do.

And in that quiet bliss of contemplation that I knew he is my sanctuary, I have never loved anything as much as I love him. He’s my best friend, my partner in crime and by the far the best dancing partner I could ever ask for. He is my soul mate and I pray that I will never loose either of my two horses. My life has made a rather big turn around in the last 2/3 months. Ill be 22 in about three weeks and that is something that is very strange to me, I’m actually getting older and this adult thing? Not sure I like it all that much. I’ve learnt a lot of myself in these past months, and in all of that learning, my horses have never changed, questy particularly has become a lot happier and more affectionate (he’s an affectionate horse anyway just not this much) all because of this change.

I don’t know where I would be at the moment without my horses at work and my horses at home. I wouldn’t have a solid reason for getting up the morning. On bad days I force myself to go and do my horses because they need me, they need me to get up and feed them and muck them out because who else is going to do it? Just because I didn’t want to get out of bed?

My sanctuary is my horses, I have more to thank them for then anyone else in the world (apart from my family obvs)
