EC Blog – The Dream That Many Will Not Understand

My horses are my personal dream.

One day when I am very old and when I cannot walk anymore, it will be in my heart as a trophy of my memories.

I met people who taught me something and have the same spirit and I met others that I’m glad I forgot.

I got wet,

I felt cold,

And I felt warm.

I was afraid,

I fell,

And I stood up.

I even hurt myself, I have been broken,

But also, I laughed out loud inside.

I spoke a thousand times with myself.

I sang and shouted with joy like a madman,

And yes … sometimes I cried.

I have seen wonderful places and lived unforgettable experiences.

I climbed on horses that made me feel brave and excited…and then there were ones that terrified me……

I stopped a thousand times to see a landscape.

I spoke with perfect strangers, and I forgot people I see every day.

I went out with my demons inside and returned home with a feeling of absolute peace in my heart.

I always thought how dangerous it is, knowing that the meaning of courage is to advance even feeling fear.

Every time I go out to my horses, I think about how wonderful they are.

I stopped talking about it to those who do not understand, and I learned to communicate with other riders.

I have met some amazing people I now call friends because of my horses.

I spent money that I did not have, giving up many things, but all these things are not worth even one special moment with my horse.

They are not a means of transport or a piece of iron with wheels, they are the lost part of my soul and my spirit.

And when someone says to me: “You have to sell the horses and you have to be more sensible”, … I do not answer. I just swing my head and smile.

A horse…. Only the person who loves them understands it.

May God bless my friends and all their horses…

And the adventure continues…”
