I can have natural vanilla flavour or imitation vanilla because they don't actually contain any vanilla.

@Glisten how very true that we are constantly feeling something. But i would like to just be able to switch off long enough to just rest. 

Horses are truly beautiful and I miss mine so much. My horse was also an ex race horse that injured himself and was destined to be destroyed but I rescued him. He too would run up to me and stop as I put my hand out, he was such a beautiful boy to ride although he would stumble every now and then cos of his injury. I had to give him up as I couldn't afford to keep him once I was no longer living on the farm where I was. But a lovely girl took him on and would take him to the beach and on many walks. I hate that I have nothing in my life anymore to care for.

Wow @Glisten You sound as though you are full steam ahead becoming a truly smitten equine pro😍

I love the passion that shines through every time you talk about the beautiful healing hooved loves.

I only just learned horses can eat bananas, skin and all😊 Tried it and hairy bear acted as though he was being tortured.

I just remembered an age ago you asked about my horse journey. Horses were my escape as a child, I virtually lived in a stable. My Grandma had a cottage in Yorkshire, when we visited, my friend an I would sneak in to farms and jump on any horse we could find,(irresponsible, I know). 

I rescued two stock horse in my late 20's, thought I was hot stuff at training. Injury stopped all riding for 15 years,(DV related, not horse). The minute I had come out of surgery, the very first thing I did was take on a 2.5 year old horse. I had to admit defeat because my anxiety skyrocketed with her and my old skills were diminished. I loved every inch of her being, I let her go to the right person she could grow with, my heart still hurts. That was a year ago. 

In a complete state of breakdown, I took on a horse with the most gentle of natures, I thought I had made a terrible mistake, he was nothing like my dream horse. That is the amazing thing about horses, I have begun to feel my heart explode with love. I feel like a different person whenever we spend time together. Every nitty gritty MH or difficult life challenge rolls away just standing beside him or lying on him, I sometimes lie on him in my PJ's😆 This totally wrong for me horse turns out to be a match made in heaven. If I am honest, looks wise, he is not my type. This just doesn't matter anymore, our souls feel just right together. I am learning everything about liberty training and loving it so much. So grateful to be around horses, I don't know if I would be here otherwise, truth be told.
