“This story, below, was published during the outbreak of disturbing videos of Americans losing their lives for undetermined causes and only days before the assault upon our sister city’s, Dallas, horrendous loss of life as peace officers were gunned down due to the color of their skin and the uniform that they wore.
The acronym BLM has been, within the Wild Horse and Burro advocacy, identified with the illegal capture, abuse and mysterious disposition of our federally protected wild horses and burros. Likewise, BLM is also used for a single minded, specific skin color protest force where controversy and racial hatred is stoked to the extent that, as in the most recent case, bloodshed follows.
But on this Sunday, looking at the outreach supplied by this one,singular equine soul, I would like to coin another acronym; one that is not based upon hatred and fear but instead on love, awareness and peace…that acronym is, ALM (All LIFE Matters).
Yes, all life does matter; not just the egotistical assumption that humans are on the top of the heap but EVERYTHING that requires air, oxygen and food is an integral component in the circle of life. And we as humans sure as hell better get our heads turned around and back to where we recognize this one simple and all important truth; ALM.
Please take this simple thought away, today; All LIFE Matters and if you share this concept with family and friends and they, likewise, spread the word perhaps we can make a difference in this vacuum of leadership that grips our nation, today. All LIFE Matters and what better way to celebrate it than to share the story of a Police Horse that touches a community so deeply as does Smash, our local hero.
Make a difference today! Share your heart and exude peace and comfort to all that you encounter this day; regardless of how many legs, fins or roots that they may have.
Let there be peace.” ~ R.T.
“Each and every year I have dragged out this excerpt from our first book, with the exception of last year…which I have taken a little bit of heat over. So we bring it back this year and hope that each and everyone of you, two legged or four, have a blessed day celebrating the birth of this most wonderful nation; The United States of America. God bless.” ~ R.T.
“You may find that today’s title/headline for Feel Good Sunday is a tad unusual being assigned to the “Feel Good” department, but there is a method to the madness.
I have spent the bulk of last week out on Oregon’s open range with the very talented and insightful Carol Walker world renowned equine photographer and Director of Field Documentation for Wild Horse Freedom Federation. We were on a very important mission; to document and photograph the herd families of the mares that will be targeted by the BLM’s blood lust machine for sterilization experiments, this fall. (They need ‘Fresh Pregnant’ mares) And also to photograph the mares that are currently being stockpiled and catalogued at the BLM Hines facility where the experiments will be conducted, open air, in non-sterile or safe corrals. And yes, I woke up in the morning ready to cry…but I also knew that we had to keep going, keep snapping the pictures, keep posting the articles and just plain keep on keeping on. The horses needed us then and they need us now more than ever.
So I identify with what is said, here, and am greatly encouraged that others feel exactly the same way that I do. From knowing that, I draw strength and it is my most sincere hope that you can draw strength from the fact that you are not alone in this fight, there is a legion of compassionate and concerned individuals that share your drive, your quest and your love. You are not alone, we are one and fighting as one will one day give us what we all strive to achieve; the ultimate freedom for our wild equines so that they can live free, with their families and prosper so that following generations can share their grace.
That is our prayer for this Sunday morning; keep the faith and never falter. They need us.” ~ R.T.
By Jill Rothenberg as published on Naratively “Happy Father’s day to all the dads out there!” ~ R.T. Becoming the world’s best burro-racer takes patience, humility and endurance—skills that came in useful in the amazing race that is fatherhood. It was a beautiful day for a track meet […]

“We all have a busy week ahead of us so today is the perfect day to laugh, relax a bit and recharge our batteries for what is coming at us just over the horizon. Now, it seems that on human terms every village has an idiot, or does that apply to political parties, and in the domesticated animal world every pasture has a prankster. We have our own red headed ‘Dennis the Menace’ that lives with us on our small ranch and there is not a day that goes by without another installation of stupidity in our ongoing book of life. So we can relate. But in this much publicized case, below, a little pony has found it to be much more comfortable to take a nap laying on his back versus standing on his legs but for some strange reason it appears to drive his guardian absolutely crazy…as you shall see. One thing is for certain, hollering in human English, ‘Pinto get up!’ is a ineffective means of communicating one’s behavioral desires to a sleeping horse. Enjoy.” ~ R.T.
