Time for Dressage

Dear Horse Friends,

With the card below I am sending a personal shooting star to each and every one of you. Reach for the sky, make a wish and make it come true!


To me, time is one of the most wonderful gifts we can give. I’m thinking about all the precious moments we get to spend with our beloved horses, the treasures we are given each day in the presence of these magnificent beings. One of the most important themes of my riding, training and teaching is the notion “I have time.” For many of us this is not only a useful and effective mantra during each riding session with our horses. It is also a daily, weekly, monthly discipline to actively make time for our pursuit of dressage. Making time for our horses each day, our lessons each week, our preparations for special events, for all the many details and routines that go with this wonderful-yet-time-consuming way of connecting with our horses. It’s more than a hobby. It’s our passion. It’s our life.

2009 has been a very blessed year for me because many of you have shared with me so many precious moments. I am looking forward to many more in 2010. Thank you all.

All my very best wishes for a blissful New Year to all of you and your loved ones!

Katja

PS: In case you wondered, the horse in the card is Tux, and the photo used for the art was taken by Tom Baldwin -- many thanks to both of them!
