A thoughtful gift

One of my horsemanship lesson clients is a 3 year old girl who has been taking lessons with me since she was 2.  I don't think anyone is too young to learn from horses.  They have so much to teach.  Compassion, empathy, kindness, patience...the list goes on and on.

I pride myself on knowing that children who participate in and eventually leave my program will have these important qualities.  It's all the thanks I need.  But, occasionally a client will give me a gift.  Something tangible.  I received this gift a few weeks ago and it melted my heart.  This little darling gets it...she gets me.

I'm so proud to teach her.  (and can't wait for Santa to fill this awesome stocking)
