Bruja here…..

Your Monday Morning Bru!
No riding this week. He has a hurt in His leg. He got on me from the mounting block in the round pen and meant to show our “gate trick” the special she I told you about last week. He got off right away because when he tried to use His leg to balance on me and to signal me how to go or turn, it hurt Him too much. I even see a bit of a limp as He walks. With pictures he showed me in my head I can see a very sore muscle in His leg. He says it was from us trotting so much a while back ((before last week). The trotting made just a very little soreness but after that He was running and moved wrong and pulled a muscle in His leg. He says it is healing now and we can soon ride again.
Riding is important to me. It gives us time of very closeness and connection. I love it when we have special time together like that. When we do what He calls meditation, we get great connection too. We get peaceful and quiet together. It makes me feel wonderful.
The special she that was here put pictures in His head. You humans use mouth sounds to do this most of the time. I can only barely understand this. Horses just send the pictures directly. We do use mouth sounds but only for a few things. He says I have and use the largest vocabulary of any horse ever. This makes sense since I AM a sorceress.
The special she told Him things to do with me. Some of those things I really like and some I am skeptical of. I love the meditation and body work. Because she told Him, we are doing more round pen fun. We need to exercise more they both say. He has been bringing me and Luna to the round pen for fun training and exercise. We get to go round and round in the pen and get a bit excited with our heart rate up and breathing fast. Even though I am not a fan of exercise, it does feel good to move. If we can’t ride for now, exercise is better than nothing.
He likes the way Luna and I move together. Luna always goes faster and she is really good at canter. She is smooth and relaxed at both the trot and canter. I have always been nervous and a bit uncomfortable cantering but, we have been doing it a bunch lately and I am getting good at it. I can feel Him being proud of me when I transition smoothly from a walk to trot or trot to canter. I’m getting better at it all the time.
He says Luna is a cow pony because of the way she moves. She uses her hind end lots. I’m still learning that. Luna can rear up a little and pivot on her hind end. He loves to see her do that. He has us do that to reverse direction as we go around the pen. He told me we are doing this so riding can be better and more fun too. I’m all in favor of that!
Since we haven’t been doing riding, They get us out to eat grass and dandelions. The dandelions are getting harder to find now. There are no flowers left and the leaves are not growing as much. I guess they are more of a spring time thing. We still find them but one of the reasons there are not so many is because we eat the ones we find!
When I was wild with my mom, dandelions were some of the first things that we got to eat green in the spring. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I like them so much. I used to miss being wild, especially at first after we got captured. Now I have Him and Luna and the rest of the herd here. We are safe and always have enough to eat and a safe place to live. Best of all, I have Him. Our spirit threads are extremely, tightly woven together. I think we’ve been together for many lifetimes. It feels comfortable and right to be together. We work as a team. I let Him see stuff most humans never get to even know about. He lets me see too. I get to see pictures and “knowing “ from Him. Most humans don’t have the ability to connect with others this way.
The special human herd He knows has lots of people that are good at connection. This makes a very special herd of humans ( and horses ). Dogs are like this too. Horses, dogs and humans have a special spirit bond that has developed over so many years and generations of living together and having good connections and relationships. We share guidance and wisdom and healing.
I am waiting for breakfast now and my morning dose of Him. I always look forward to Them every morning and evening for feeding time. We ( our horse herd ) never know exactly when They we show up. They say that being consistently inconsistent keeps us from being anxious about feeding being at a precise, certain time each day. Still, I always look forward to seeing Him. I wish He could be with me all the time. He does too much humans stuff and not enough horsey stuff. (just my opinion)
Another nice thing about living here is how much just life is here. Our paddock is in the trees. Lots of trees, some small and bushy and many are tall and give us good shelter. I can feel His spirit feelings get happy to be with the trees. When we got captured, we got put in a place with no vegetation at all. Not even any shade in the summer. I do like it here.
Soon again!
May you be happy and have good herd.
