R-E-S-P-E-C-T

When I think about the kind of relationship I have with my star miniature horse, S, one word finally comes to mind. It's all about respect. We truly have a working relationship. I respect him and he respects me. It took a few years to build this. Today, I was walking him back to the pasture after our training session, and all I could think about, was how far we have come together. Both of us have gently morphed and changed into the beings we are today. A very respectable, working realtionship. One in which little needs to be said. One in which body speaks louder than words. We have come to realize our ebbs and flows. We recognize how we move. One look can speak many words.

It's an amazing feeling to know that you have created such a strong relationship with another. Now after a few years of hard work, I finally get it. And I treasure it. Nothing could take it's place.
