Riding in India

We have almost forgotten how strange a thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal as a horse
should allow another, and far more feeble animal, to ride upon its back

Winter always turns to spring. There is light at the end of every dark tunnel. Enjoy what is there to enjoy and suffer what is there is suffer. Our mare Chanchal enjoying winter sun

Christmas is not a time, nor a season but a state of mind. It is to cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy and to be grateful. Wish you all merry Christmas 🎄

I was always worried someone would notice me, and then when no one did, I felt lonely.” “One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.” “The thing about chameleoning your way through life is that it gets to where nothing is real.”our mare blending in with landscape

Walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk in front of me, I may not follow. Walk beside me and you will be my companion forever. Sheru our true companion rearing with joy.

We are all strangers in strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, there is this strange , sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes. Our beautiful Marwari mare puzzle longing to see you all soon.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Each one of us are here to fill the pieces in this giant jigsaw puzzle. We often complicate this by trying too hard to solve it. But our beautiful mare Puzzle is not complicated. She is being in the moment and simply enjoying the sunset in this beautiful field.

People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. Our elegant beautiful princess Badami in her full power.

We stumble each other’s path not by accident there is sacred reason behind it. Maybe our minds cannot perceive it in that moment but there is a beautiful reason for it all. When you bump into someone on the road you walk and you become the reason for a smile and twinkle in their eye that flashes from nowhere because they have felt your kindness. We are all angels in disguise and it takes an angel to bring out angel in another. Never think any kind gesture goes to waste. It helps water wings of those that don’t yet realise they have them. We angels realised, unrealised are in this together.

Red - the ultimate colour of love, passion, and fertility
Blue – the colour of Krishna’s face, and also the sky and oceans
Yellow – the colour knowledge and learning, symbolising happiness, meditation, and peace
Green – the colour of nature, symbolises the start of Spring and new beginnings
Pink - the colour of caring and compassion
Purple - can symbolise magic and mystery. Wish you have essence of these colours in your life. Wish you all a very happy Holi

We all get exact same 365days. The only difference is what we do with them. We will open the book with blank pages called opportunity. Write each word with our hands. And its first chapter is new year day. Hope 2022 is an incredible part of your story. Love , light and power to you all.

Hating skin color is contempt for God's divine creative imagination. Honoring it is appreciation for conscious, beautiful-love-inspired diversity. Happiness is the most beautiful colour and that’s what we celebrate on this day. Wish you all a very happy and colourful holi

Riding in India family misses the presence of our global family members, who have been an integral part of us since many years. As it is said distance makes heart grow fonder. All of you who have been connected with us in walking the path of self discovery and explored unchartered territories, have secured a special place in our hearts and are deeply missed. Separated by distance, connected by hearts. Hope to see you all and many more who will be a part of this growing global family very soon. Sending you all much love, light and power.

Sheru - our proud, beautiful Marwari stallion.
⠀
We are waiting for rain! As you maybe now we planted grass for our horses. And we also give a huge part of it to the carriage horses we take care of and really need water. But until now, monsoon hasn’t arrived in our barn yet. Let’s hope for some rain soon. We wish you a nice weekend.

We are still very sad about the loss of our beautiful Precious. We miss her very much and it still hurts a lot. But life needs to go on.
⠀
There are not just our own horses who want to be taken care of. We also help a few carriage horses in Jaipur, providing food for them, as the situation is still very critical for their owners and they need help to keep their horses until they have enough work and money again.
⠀
And we just got in two new thoroughbreds who very urgently need our help. They are in bad condition and will need some time and a lot of love. But we try our best to get them back in shape.
⠀
The picture is a nice memory of our photo workshop with Tamara Gooch Photography this spring, done by Carol Corder at a lake close to Pali.
⠀
Many thanks Carol for this beautiful photo.
