Money doesn’t mean much to me because I don’t really know what it is. I hear the humans talk about it….a lot! I’ve also heard that the humans need it in order to buy me carrots, though I’m not quite sure why they can’t just dig them up out of the garden. But since my […]
There are parts of every job and every situation that we just don’t like. This starts early in childhood where we might love going to school, but hate math class. Or we might enjoy playing soccer, but we dread some of the practice exercises. As adults, if we’re lucky enough to love our job, there […]
I heard the humans were talking about transitions this week. Horses do lots of transitions, from standing to walking, or walking to trotting, or trotting to cantering.

I am going to tell you about a few different jobs that horses might have and you can tell me which you think you’d like the best. I am a therapy horse. I get to interact with all kinds of different people and my job is to just be a horse and give them feedback […]
There are many kinds of friends. There are the friends we have forever and the friends we have because we are have some mutual interest. Our neighbors might be our friends because they live near us.
