		<description>I&#039;m a little late coming to visit, but I wanted to say what a great post this was!  I love your idea of a list - for me, the power of a visual aid really helps me to see where i&#039;m imbalanced.  I definitely feel like I&#039;m very imbalanced right now, so maybe a list is in order?  Thanks for the great idea.</description>

		<description>This blog post was so fun to read :)
  
With me being a newbie to the horse world, I found it very overwhelming.  All the books, DVD&#039;s, techniques, ideas, philosophies, etc. are enough to send someone into a spiral of confusion.  Someone like me ;)  I have found that it&#039;s easy to get sucked into what everyone else is doing with there horses and you tend to those focus on what is acutally happening between you and your horse.  This can be very frustrating and discouraging, I know I&#039;ve been there.  This is when you drop everything you have in your hands (lead rope, handy stick or whatever training contraption you are gripping onto) and go hug your horse or sing to it or stare and it and just breathe, letting the both of you come back down to earth and relax.  Im my opinion, situations like these are sometimes the best lesson you and horse can have, learning to really talk and listen to eachother :)</description>

		<description>I can feel it to. I loved hearing about eventing in your area. It would be cool if he could eventually use some of his sport pony skills.

		<description>I&#039;ll be updating Luis&#039; photo come spring. He is a hairy yak these days! This newborn photo was the best I could find right now.

That good to hear about Theory. I&#039;ve been thinking of her lately and did write to Dr. Darger.</description>

		<description>Very nice. Wish you had a lighter pic of Luis.  Spoke with Jeannie today. She was the gal that put me in touch with Dr, Darger for Theory. She said that Dr. Darger&#039;s son is in love with Theory and that she likes him too. I guess Dr. Darger&#039;s son has autism.  Theory seems to have connected with him and they get along well.  Good to here.</description>

		<description>Alright, I&#039;ll think of what recipes to share. :)

For now, I&#039;ve started an Amazon store to feature book from own library. There are only a few so far, but see the Personal Health page for a couple of excellent books by a friend of mine, who is a master herbalist.

Herbal Defense should be on everyone&#039;s shelf!</description>

		<description>Getting those things down in The List is a real eye-opener, I&#039;m sure. So often we think we know, but until it&#039;s all down on paper, we really may not see how time, priorities and love are lost. I&#039;m going to do the same. A coach once told me to create my &quot;ideal day&quot; on paper. Hour by hour. It so looked NOTHING like what I was actually living. Still trying.</description>
