@ don, oh I love this one

Yes, it's a lovely picture of what is typical in our lives. Every day we have just these kinds of conversations together. I am here, in this picture ...
... developing trust through scent sampling. Bonnie is learning to read me, and I am learning to quiet my mind, clarify my intent, and keep it as pure and uncomplicated as possible. This has, over the past year and more, turned into a very significant mode of communication. Also I cannot "lie," to and fool a horse that I have this connection with, I've learned.
Notice what a good mother Altea is being. She is "listening in," on the breath conversation. I had not noticed at the time the picture was taken.
When you asked about a possible picture to go with credits this was the one (before I read this post in fact) that I was seriously considering. It, IT, is not about me and my horses, it is about us, all of us together.

Of course I will place the photographers name, and yours and Bonnie's
I am going through all of them now, nice break from correcting text...
@ Barbara, that I hope to complete next year
@ all, come on, I need pictures, send them in, not much time left!? you are all much to modest, I am not looking for perfect riders, just riders who let their horses be perfect as they are
Sadly I am not as yet riding Altea much. Though I use La Jaquima some and that's not in the best tradition of AND, I also ride her with a simple fabric halter. If I were currently doing so I'd surely send you pictures.
