My hero....in every way. ❤️

My hero....in every way. ❤️

She could have stayed at home. Watching days turn into nights, and life slowly turn into memories. She could have said, “It’s too late for me.” But instead — she gets into the saddle.

Her hands are not as strong as they used to be. Her step is slower. But her heart… still moves her forward.

Every wrinkle on her face is a road. Every year — another mile behind her. And even now, she doesn’t stop. Because for her, movement is life.

Beside her is her horse. Not just an animal — a companion who understands her without words. He walks carefully, as if he knows: on his back is not just a rider, but a whole story.

And one more small companion — her dog. Loyal, silent, always there. He doesn’t ask where they’re going. It’s enough for him to know they are together.

They are not in a hurry. No deadlines. No “later.” Only now — this path, this wind, this moment.

People look at her and think, “Why?”
But she is simply living.

Because true freedom is not in youth. It’s in the choice not to stop. Even when the body asks for rest.

She proves nothing to the world. She reminds it.

That life doesn’t end with age.
That dreams don’t have an expiration date.
That the road is always open — as long as you are willing to take a step.

And as her horse keeps moving forward,
as her dog stays close,
she smiles.

Because she knows: she is still on her journey.

For as long as I can remember.... I remember Easter being so very meaningful to our family. Through the good times, the hard times, the sad moments, and the greatest of days.......Jesus is that one thing that remains steadfast!!!! Never has left me. Never disappointed. ❤️.
Today is a welcomed day (with our Arizona family Amy Hasenbeck Jamie Maley) but mainly because we remember....Jesus is real. Alive. And THAT makes a great day.
Happy happy Easter. We, at the Grace Barn, love and appreciate you all!!!!

Great movie....about loving, learning and believing. Harry (a Dutch immigrant) came to this country to pursue his dream. Raising his family and riding successful jumpers. Bought Snowman (PREVIOUSLY A PLOW HORSE:1948-1974) for $80 and turned him into one of the world's all-time best jumpers ever. A man who believed in a dream.....and believed in his horse. And a horse that rose to fame because of that love and his belief in him. ❤️ Harry and his family always allowed Snowman to be an integral part of his family. His kids loved him. And the feeling was mutual. But......when Snowman was failing, Harry could not bring himself to attend the death (even knowing that Snowman depended on his owner to always do the right rhing. Each family member came to es**rt the big boy down to the field. But to no avail. Snowman was turned toward the farmhouse....that held the only person he wanted. And needed. His soft knickers tore at the heart of Harry.
When Harry finally appeared, it was then.....and only then that Snowman would be ready to make this journey.
So Hand and hoof....the two walked down on their last journey together. And the Big Boy was gently laid to rest. With all those who loved him present....but it was only Harry that mattered at that moment. ❤️
The bond between a man who believed... and a horse that let him believe. An unbelievable team.

Good ole "Roper the Rescue".....if I had favorites, he would be in the top 3 of all horses. He came from the kill pen some years ago. Terribly soul- sad. Not just sad. Broken to the core. Those first two pictures were taken in the first few days here at Grace. He actually looked like he was continually in tears. I've never seen any of our animals so so sad. Over the following months, he began to heal. He could do light riding, but we continually battled an old shoulder injury. We tried everything. But in the end....it was obvious that his riding days were over. It is never easy to make the difficult decisions with our rescues. Instead of being selfish....we have to think of what is best for them. Some love therapy, some adore kids, and some need a big heavenly Pasture to graze in. I would be very picky about his next landing place. And in comes Alicia Elliott from Olympia. Her mare had just lost her pasture companion (gelding) and she was lost and lonely. She drove over an hour to meet our guy, and see if they had a good chemistry together. She sent pictures of her place, her mare and her many acres of a large green pasture. A wonderful retirement home for sure. We are so grateful to you Alicia Elliott. You were an answer to our prayers, for the perfect place for our guy to rest. And be loved. And just be retired.
Thank you for loving our boy. That last picture of him, in your beautiful pasture.... makes my heart sing!! 🐴💕🙏. And THAT is the life we pray for, for our beauties. Gratitude always!

The loves of my life.... 💕❤️💗

Barn Shenanigans.......
(Or should I say "bathroom" Shenanigans)

Question: Do ANY dog owners EVER get a quiet moment in the early hours of your day.....when the sun is approaching and the coffee is brewing?
And you just want 5 minutes in the bathroom, all by yourself? No boys....I've got this. Really!

What does one do when you see your very favorite combination for horse therapy. (A retired all black Arab mare) but she only has one eye? Lost it as a baby. No eyeball at all. Doesn't bother her in the least.
Well.....of course you get her. Snuggled in nicely. No fuss from the others. Munching away as happy as can be. And that's a wrap. NO MORE STALLS. Soooo. Meet Miss Lacey. 🐴❤️💕

And quit humming the ASPCA song.....and looking out the window, like your looking to be rescued.
It's not going to work. People's food bill could never handle you.
No cars will be coming down that driveway.
