About what may or may not happen in the future.

Last year my pony had to be put down, laminitis finally took its toll and nether he or I could take it any more.

That meant Horse, yes that really is his name, well not officially, his breeder named him Equus but my sister said “we can’t call him that, it’s far too posh. Let’s call him Horse until we come up with another name”

Needless to say over a decade later he’s still called Horse

Anyway, Horse was left on his own,

I was really worried about how he would cope as he was always very anxious on his own.

I was worried about his behaviour, he can be quite a bully and I thought he might start to push me around.

I was worried he would get depressed and not want to do anything, after Troyble died, (Troy, was nothing but trouble when he arrived, so became Troyble), Horse spent hours just standing looking out across the fields, he seemed so sad.

Guess what…

None of the things I was worried about happened.

Instead, something happened that I really wasn’t expecting.

Horse got laminitis!

Horse had never been ill in his life before, if there was one thing I hadn’t even considered it was he would get laminitis. He is now inside on medicine and I am hoping he will recover.

So what does that tell you?

There is absolutely no point in worrying about the future, we don’t know what is coming, even if we expect the unexpected we will still be surprised because none of us have control over what is coming next.

Even if we think we do or even worse if we try and control what’s coming.

We have the moment we are living in, the present, that is what we should put our energy into, not what has been and not what might be coming.

Today, if you find yourself worrying about something that may or may not happen, bring yourself back to the present moment and get living.

Enjoy this moment, it is the only one you have right now!

I would just like to say thank you so much to everyone who helped me turn a barn full of stuff into a stable for Horse,

I am only 10 weeks post op of a total hip replacement, so not able to do the things I normally can. I needed help and I was inundated, we worked as a team, all came together to make the best stable we could.

That is what life is all about, being there for each other and helping people when they need us.

Have a good day, and if you can help someone, do.

It will make you feel good.
