"Interdependence"
Interdependence between horse and rider means listening to each other; heightening our awareness of all that exists in the present moment. Honoring the Moment and Creating the experience together.
I honor the times we find ourselves in in this country. This flag represents so many things to so many. We seem to be divided states of America at the moment. Somewhere in the ESSENCE of each of our souls is a desire to live, love, and be free. We need each other to create the community that sustains each of us and allows us to thrive.
This image was taken on February 13th, 2025, in Shell, Wyoming. This is Marjin, riding Princess Buttercup. Marjin and her husband Peter and family immigrated from Belgium and operate the guest ranch The Hideout Lodge. If you've ever wanted to do a week stay in Wyoming and go trail riding in beautiful scenery, I highly recommend them.
