Tres - Supreme EMM Day 5

Day 5, May 12, 2010.... Dad and Tres are working together.... Dad had his radio on, as usual, when he is video recording. Of course he can't hear it in the round pen. Looks like the workout was choreographed to the song "Friends"... Amazing what you notice when you are reviewing the videos.

Meet Tres

I am SO excited. Dad and I adopted Tres. I met Dad in Piney Woods, MS, where we were formally introduced. I am pleased to present Tres, our new Mustang. Isn't he beautiful! Just wait and see what he looks like after a little love and care :) We brought him home Friday evening, and this is his first outing on Monday. This is his first time to be led on a halter, and we are on the way to the round pen. So many firsts that initial week. I try to imagine what all must be going through his head.

Tres - Supreme EMM 2010 Day 3

I made a little video of Tres' first little tantrum..... Dad and I were wondering if we were gonna spend the night at the round pen.... This was on Day 3... So many firsts. First out of the stall, in the round pen, use of a haltar, and NOT IN CONTROL.... He was not a happy camper....

Tres - Supreme EMM 2010 Pickup Day

Dad and I went to Piney Woods, MS, to pick up Tres (the third Mustang) on 05/07/10....

Let the fun begin :)

Horses In Heaven

"Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. And the one sitting on the horse was named Faithful and True." Revelation 19:11

Horses in Heaven

An old man and his horse were riding down this dirt road with fences on both sides. They came to a gate in the fence and looked in; it was nice, with grassy, woody areas ---- just what a old horse and man would like, but it had a sign saying 'No Trespassing' so they walked on.
They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there.
"Welcome to Heaven" he said.

The old man was happy and started to ride his horse in.

The gatekeeper stopped him.

"Animals aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you."
"What kind of Heaven won't allow animals?

If he can't come in, then I will stay out with him.

He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't abandon him now."
"Suit yourself, but I have to warn you,

the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area

-- he'll promise you anything--but the horse can't go there either.

If you won't leave the horse, you'll spend Eternity on this road."
So the old man and horse rode on.

They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it:

no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside.
"S'cuse me Sir, my horse and I are getting mighty tired,
mind if we come in and rest in the shade for awhile?"
"Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there, along with
a bucket to water your horse. Make yourselves comfortable."
"You're sure my horse can come in?

The man down the road said animals weren't allowed anywhere."
"Would you come in if you had to leave the horse?"
"No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven; he said the horse couldn't come in.
We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some
shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy
here can't come too, and that's final."
The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."
"You mean this is Heaven? Horses ARE allowed?

How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?"
"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life-long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but then it's too late.

The animals come here, the fickle people stay there.

GOD wouldn't allow animals to be banned from Heaven.

After all, he created them to be man's companions in life,

why would he separate them in death?"

I Saw A Child

A lady from my church gave me this poem and it moved me so I want to share it

I Saw a Child

I saw a child who couldn't walk,

Then sit on a horse, laugh and talk.

He rode it through a field of daisies

and yet he could not walk unaided.

I saw a child, no legs below,

sit on a horse, and make it go

through woods of green

and places he had never been

to sit and stare,

except from a chair.

I saw a child who could only crawl

mount a horse and sit up tall

Put it through degrees of paces

and laugh at the wonder in our faces.

I saw a child born into strife,

take up and hold the reins of life.

And that same child was heard to say,

"Thank God for showing me the way...
