Hello everyone!
Quite unexpectedly and spontaneously today we made a small trip surrounded by pure nature and good-natured animals. We went Hiking without a specific purpose. We just walked, enjoying each other's company and charging with amazing energy from communication with wildlife. I invite you to come with us on this amazing journey.
The day started with the fact that I decided to go with the kids to a horse riding club, which is located a few kilometers from my village. This small farm is located among a young pine forest. We got on our bikes, took some food and went. The day was just wonderful, sun, no wind, quite warm and so spring. A real gift after long rains and thunderstorms. We arrived at the equestrian club without warning. And it turned out, that today there is no instructor on horseback riding and occupational not will. Have horses, too, weekend). And then the caretaker suggested that we just walk with the horses, take a leisurely stroll among the fragrant forest of silence. Just go with the horses where they want to go.
Horses are special animals. They can't leave you indifferent. Their huge sad eyes seem to read your thoughts and see you through. Horses are very kind and intelligent. They will never hurt a child or even an adult if you go to them with good intentions. Somehow horses can feel your mood and your character. Of course there are exceptions, but it is rather uncommon if a horse shows aggression. Most likely the animal is unhealthy.
The horse may even become doctors for children with special needs. There is a special kind of health-improving therapy, which consists in close communication of the child with horses. Horses are able to relieve symptoms of cerebral palsy, orthopedic disorders and help children with problematic behavior, hyperactivity and increased nervous tension. This method of treatment is called hippotherapy.
In our equestrian club actively practice this method of treatment. Here come children with different problems. And after a while of training, they can see improvements in health and behavior. I am personally familiar with some of them and I am sure that the horses were the cause of these positive changes. So we gladly agreed to this amazing walk. After the last week I feel some nervous tension, so such a walk in the company of graceful horses is definitely what you need. And the horses feel so free and relaxed today. They look a little different than during the horseback riding lessons that we visit sometimes. Today they are so relaxed, free and even seem to me back to their wild nature. Their manes flutter on the run, their hooves knock, they snort and behave so naturally!
Is it possible not to admire the beauty and grace of these magnificent animals! They're beautiful!
Of course, now after a long winter the horse is not in the best shape. They seem a bit tired, they missed the fresh juicy grass. So eagerly they will eat young shoots of plants. This stable is an amazing place. Its owner is truly generous and devoted to his work. All classes for special children, it is completely free. Besides, there is always room for stray dogs and cats on his farm. They live here as at home, and everyone has enough care and attention. The farm also has sheep, goats, cows and even donkeys. By the way, these funny donkeys are so sociable! On their face always a smile. This donkey from Shrek he is exactly the same as those who live on this farm. They are really comical and funny!
A serious bearded man. He refused to walk. Apparently, his beard makes him arrogant. )))
We bypassed the territory of the stables and passed through the forest to the pasture. We went as a team, people and horses. We almost did not talk, only admired the beauty of animals and nature around. Sometimes horses came to us, held out his head to their touch. It was so sweet and touching. They made it clear they thought we were friends. We walked for hours,and the time flew by. We did not feel tired at all, although we walked a few miles. On the contrary, we felt a surge of strength and pure energy. Horses create a very special atmosphere of naturalness, strength, beauty and tranquility.
I felt my nerve cells regenerate during this walk. I totally relaxed, letting the animals guide me on this path. This is an act of complete trust, fusion with nature and peace. I can compare those feelings to just one I've experienced. Such feelings you can feel while swimming with dolphins. It is a kind of therapy of healing and harmony with yourself and nature.
We discovered an amazing find while walking. In the middle of the forest we saw a blooming Tulip. It's incredible, I don't know how he got here. Tulip is a garden plant. I've never heard of him in the middle of the woods before. Real miracle. Miracles are everywhere, we need only look more closely.
After a walk with horses we went back on our bikes. I love this kind of movement! It has its own romance and charm. We are always looking forward to the arrival of spring to get our bikes back. On the way back we made several stops in beautiful places of our village. The famous Slavic graves from the 10th century, the hills. Here rest the great warriors of ancient times. We stopped at this place to make some portraits for the family album.
