Going Home

Going Home

How do you make a horse or dog or any animal come home with you, trust you, even when they are frightened and can’t see?

You have a true and open heart.

You listen to them.

You give them time. And trust and patience.

Paul Moshimer had never met this blind horse until this morning, he calmed him, listened to him, earned his trust and walked him across his home for the past nine months and brought him home to a different place, where he will begin a new and perhaps lasting chapter in his life.

In order to communicate with an animal, you must learn to be a good human being, patient, open, authentic. Animals are alien creatures of another nation, they have powers beyond our imagination, they know us better than we know ourselves. We need them, they need us, we belong together on our journey through life.
