Happy Year of the Horse!



Today marks the start of the "Year of the Horse" in the Chinese calender. According to experts, this will be a fast moving year with unexpected adventure and romance. It will be a great year for travel. A year high in energy and productivity. Sounds great!
 People born in "horse years" are said to have great communication skills, are clever, kind to others, cheerful, perceptive and stubborn. Human "horses" are frank and dislike hidden agendas. I recognize most of these as traits found in our animal equine friends. Since horses live in the moment, they also have an enormous ability to forgive and move on. We see this in the horses here at Horse Haven every day. Most of the horses that come here have endured horrid conditions and often times less than kind treatment from humans. But instead of holding a grudge and becoming bitter, they try very hard to trust and accept love and kindness.
 We can learn a lot from the horse.
