But what is her name?!

 
I borrowed a book of poetry from the library last week and it was really nice, so I googled the author (a 50-year-old French woman) to see what else she had written, and discovered on her website that she owns horses and offers rides in the woods during which people read & discuss poetry, including ‘moonlight rides’ and themed rides centred around a particular poet or topic. Sometimes you get a glimpse into a softer world… in which someone makes a living writing and publishing poems and taking people on poetry-themed horse rides by moonlight. I was going to say “I hope she’s having a great day” but I’m sure she is.

From Pedro Torres: “Oxidado is a strong horse with a big personality. He has taught me a lot. The first year, we fought a lot as I was strict and tried to tell him that he had to follow me. And for horses with such a strong character, this is impossible, you cannot go against them. Oxidado made me begin to discover a new way of understanding horses, and I figured out a way to come to him. Oxidado is a warrior and a champion. After we developed this great friendship, all I had to do was ask, and even in a difficult situation he would do it – and do it better than the other horses. You have to analyze the character of your horse; it’s like in a marriage where you have to understand your partner. In mine and Oxidado’s relationship, I figured out a way to come to him. I gave up part of the leader role because he is best like that. I gave up and I got a champion! If I had kept on going, I would have had nothing.” Read More »
