Horses Make Me Happy

Horses make me happy.

For the last few months, our horses have been enjoying a well-deserved break while we catch up on office work. So I was pretty excited yesterday when I managed to escape from the paperwork and bolt up to the barn for a ride.

The first thing that I did was go into our pasture and rub all the horses. Our horses are pretty positive guys, and they were all competing for attention. Just scratching them and smelling that perfect horse smell was enough to put me in the running for the happiest person in the world.

And then I took out my big black gelding, Zephyr, threw on a saddle and rope hackamore and off we went! The ground was pretty hard and he’s been on holiday so we didn’t do too much, but even just a good trot down the road was enough to have me grinning from ear to ear.

What is it about horses that affects us this way? I don’t really know, but I love it - and I love them.
