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.

Back to the ground

Last night we put will to work.  He lunged his little butt off, he was frothing and sweating, trying to figure out how to give to the bit, move away, find his circle, and most important, have his butt follow his body.  He improved alot, but the best part wasn't the ground driving and the lunging... it was the cool down.  I sat on him and we just walked while my friend held the lunge line.  Circles, stops, turns, and inside leg pressure to widen up... it was "our time" our special alone time that he needs so much.  He is so sensitive, so soft... we need more of that.
