Some days, healing doesn’t look like progress… it looks like stillness.

Like a quiet pond holding the reflection of everything it’s been through.
Like trees standing bare, yet rooted… waiting for the next season.

If you’re walking through life after cancer, you know this feeling.
The world may expect you to be “back to normal,” but your heart and body are still finding their way.

Here at Rusted Spur Stables, we honor *that space*—
the in-between, the quiet, the unspoken.

Our horses don’t rush you.
They don’t expect explanations.
They simply meet you where you are… with presence, patience, and honesty.

If today feels heavy, slow, or uncertain—
you’re not behind.
You’re healing.

And that matters more than anything. 🤍

Early spring is a fragile time for many pollinators. 🌼🐝
When the world is just waking up, bees are often low on energy and searching for their very first food sources.
Those bright yellow “weeds” we often ignore are actually lifesaving meals.
A single blooming flower can give a tired bee the strength to keep flying.
Nature hides important gifts in the smallest places.
Let the dandelions bloom a little longer, and you may help save a life.
Sometimes protecting nature simply means doing nothing at all. 🌿💛

If you know me then you know that I do not ask for help. Never have (except Bryon of course). But this past week had taken a huge emotional and physical toll on me. I am not asking for pity. For the most part I love my job, but by Wednesday (my 876th day in a row, jk) I was done. But, I went on with my day and gave my patients 110 percent. I was on my last case and I did something to my left shoulder. It felt pinched I could not lift it above my waist and when I did it would send a pain that would take my breath away. I came home and Bryon helped me with my chores and I went to bed. Around midnight I woke up with my shoulder throbbing no matter what position I would try nothing worked. I just started bawling. I was exhausted and I just wanted sleep. Lets jump to today and the reason for this post. I went out to the barn and Suebird immediately came to the stall door and put her head in my hand. She knew something was wrong with me and I held her head and breathed in her smell. Peace came over me and everything my body and my brain went through the past week no longer mattered. It is not easy to explain it is something you must experience yourself. I want to share this experience with you. I want the horses to reduce your pain and your anxiety and fill you with a sense of hope and renewal. 🐴💖🌈💫🌞
