Corona Coping!
Readers share how horses make a difference…
The horses are the ONLY thing in my life that has seen relatively no change since the virus. I get up, shovel poop, brush the horses, tend to my human family and then I saddle up and ride. From the second that I get on, the rhythm of riding relaxes my whole self. The trail is in front of me, the horses quietly flick their ears and plod along — and for a while, there is no virus. Just us.
I’ll ride ’til they close trails, and then I’ll just take walks on the street with them. I hope everybody out there is just breathing in their horses and staying well.
