Sefja continues to grow. It seems that she has nearly doubled in size in just 2 weeks. She is bold and curious and can now gallop circles around her mom. Osk is a great mother;she watches over Sefja very diligently, but doesn't panic when she takes off racing across the field.
I have taken many photos of her, but just haven't had time to download any yet.
The days are full with lessons and riding, working the young horses, caring for them all and trying to spend a little time on my garden. I am lucky to have so many wonderful friends willing to help out. I love the sense of community that has developed over the years at Mandala and would like to let you all know how much I enjoy and appreciate your friendship, help and participation in all that goes on here.
Its been nearly forty years since I discovered this place now known as Mandala. It was like coming home; such a sense of belonging. But from that first moment I felt that this wasn't a place that "belonged "to me, but a place that had so much to offer to many people.
This land has showed me the direction of my lifes work and has helped me become a wiser and more grounded teacher and human being.
As I sit at my computer I am looking west into the sinking sun and even after this many years it is with awe and reverence that I take in the beauty before me: the sky, the trees, the gardens, the fields, the horses, the cats, the guineas.
My love to each and every one of you.
I cant believe how lucky I am that you are willing to share your knowledge, horses and home with others. Mandala has a lovely community and
ReplyDeleteI feel so incredibly grateful that I can be part of it. Thank you so much!
Looking forward to my next adventure with the Icelandics!
