On Sunday morning I went to visit Luke an amazing horse, who is owned by a friend.
I started my visit by giving Luke a few treats of carrots and apples which understandably he loved.
I enjoyed listening to him munching, as well as breathing in the wonderful smell that horses have ( this is something that my husband, who is not horsey does not understand at all!)
Luke had just come back from a hack ( ride) with his owner, Michelle so after she washed him off , I helped by using a sweat scraper to remove the excess water.
I spent the remainder of my visit generally patting, kissing and admiring this magnificant animal.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my good friend Michelle Clayton for allowing me to have this experience and to my sister, Kim Watts for escorting me and taking the photos. You can read more of my horsey adventures, before I suffered a stroke, by purchasing my e book titled Equestrian dreams Click Here To Buy
As always questions/comments are welcome.

I absolutely know what you mean about that wonderful horse smell! They are such calming and majestic animals aren’t they? I love your photos and it looked like you had a great time. Thank you for sharing with #DreamTeam x
This looks like a great day and a lovely horse- thank you for sharing #fortheloveofBLOG
Horses are beautiful animals. There is just something so understanding about them.
Glad you enjoyed your visit. 🙂
As I read this I thought you should write a book – you are so good at getting sensations across
Thanks, I have written 2 e books actually, one about my experiences as a child minder and the other is about my dream of owning my own horse
How’s lovely to have such a great day Thank you for linking to #ThatFridayLinky Please come back next week
What an absolute treat to be able to do something like this Karen. And you have an e-book too. Is this something you could be more involved in in some way? Nicky x #tweensteensbeyond

There is something very special about horses isn’t there? I’m so pleased that you got to spend some time at the stables and so impressed that you have a book! Thanks for linking up at #TweensTeensBeyond
Oooh it sounds like a lovely visit and it sounds like it was a very mindful experience – keeping you very much in the present moment when with the horse. Animals can do this so well for us. Thanks for linking up to #thesatsesh xx
A lovely story Karen, thank you for sharing it with us. There is something so calming about being around animals isn’t there. #TweensTeensBeyond
#thesatsesh lots off my pupils use therapy horses…sadly, one ‘broke’ one as the child was so damaged and the horse absorbed it. Imagine being so sad that you’re taken out of therapy for the horses welfare…sad but true. Make sure you pop and see Luke regularly, he sounds like a nice chap.
Great share. I am so happy you haven’t lost your love for horses and thanks to Michelle to have made this possible.

Ah, what a wonderful time. Spending time with horses is so nice and I enjoy it a lot too when I can. I know what you mean about the smell, my husband is a city boy and doesn’t like it either!! #animaltales
Of course horses have a wonderful smell, best appreciated when up close nuzzling their velvet noses. I do however think that my husband and yours attende dthe same school of “not understanding horses!”
Thank you for adding this post to #AnimalTales and apologies for being so late reading and commenting. I have been struck down by an evil lurgy and am only just getting back on track. The next linky opens tomorrow so I hope you can join in.
It’s so good that you can spend time with horses, especially one as lovely as Luke. I know what you mean about the smell, I remember it well from my youth! Thanks so much for sharing with us #AdventureCalling
