Heron Bay Stables - A Dream Home for Your Horse
Many people have been touched throughout their lives from experience with horses, that special bond that exists. We get caught up in our daily lives and are busy raising families and building careers, we forget how important it is to stay in touch with our inner-self and find peace, if only for a few hours a day or even in a week.
Around horses you can find that peace. Or perhaps you are young and trying to find your way, the formative years are challenging for us all. Even more challenging is a physical or mental disability.
I truly believe that horses heal people. Horses accept us for who we are, they don't try to change us or conform us. They don't judge us by how we look, only by the way we act around them. They don't care if your shoes are ugly and your socks don't match. They look inside of us and find the best in all of us. We just have to take the first step and allow it to happen.
It happens for so many reasons; the horse is a large animal with a commanding presence, you cannot allow yourself to be distracted, your focus remains on your steed and your worries and stress are left behind (even if only for a while). It is nice to be able to escape from all that troubles us and venture into a place of wonder and excitement.
The first time you connect with your horse, when you see something in her eyes, or you ride bareback for the first time, run across a field, or sit quietly in his stall and watch him munch his hay you're hooked.
They say horses get into your blood and when they do you're hooked for life. I believe that, and those of you who had a connection once, you owe it to yourself to come back to it, and to those who have yet to discover it... Welcome to Heron Bay Stables, let the magic unfold.
