A homegrown heart is one that longs to sleep with the windows open. One that longs to smell the fresh cut fields, Ride in the afternoon - bareback, and barfoot. A homegrown heart likes to turn the music up, grow something, talk to God and wear boots, because they are better. These hearts go fishing, play with dogs and play with horses. Homegrown hearts give it their all, everytime. They are true to themselves, and true to those around them. They have deep roots. But more important, a homegrown heart LOVES WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH.

My boy did great today.  He only tried to kick me once!  Little (I mean huge) butt head!!  He was tied and i was putting his saddle on.  He was doing great, just grouchy that i had woken him up so early.  When I went to cinch him, he walked into me, spun and bucked...
luckily I saw him coming and jumped out of the way... grabbed a rope and nailed him!  So... we moved to the arena where I could spin his butt around while cinching, and I won the battle.  After that, he did famously. Lunged to both sides, walk and trot.  Too tired to canter, so I didn't ask. 

What a good boy he is becoming.
