This Equestrian Life

A journal of the horses in our back yard and my quest for balance and harmony in a hectic world.

Just moments before we go into the arena to compete, Zazu stands tied to the trailer ready to do her best.

Zazu - 15 Years old. Regal, sensitive, loyal, generous. Currently recovering from founder and a hind leg suspensary ligament injury.

Nora - 27 years old. Loving, wise, impish, dependable, adventurous.

Tessi - 5 years old. Bold, very intelligent and a fast learner - in training to become a "solid citizen" horse.

Cinorafawn: I live in Northern California about 20 minutes outside of a city in a semi rural area. I grew up riding horses in Spain but never had my own horse as a child - Now, many years later, my husband and I have three horses along with a variety of other critters. I try to balance the demands of my job and my passion for horses. Our horses' names are Zazu, Nora and Tessi. Three mares, all Morgan Horses but each with a distinct personality, characteristics and talents. Because we live in such close proximity with our horses (any closer and they'd be in our bedroom), they really are family and it feels as though we are all part of a big interspecies herd.
