Horses are the gift that keeps on giving. One of the activities I like to do with the kids is yoga on hors- es. We will do a simple breath- ing exercise which the kids just love.

What the kids enjoy most is watching their horses respond to the breathing exercises, by low- ering their heads, yawning wide, licking their lips, and other indi- cations of complete relaxation. What I enjoy most is watching the kids become mindful and present and in turn softer in their energy with the horses. As I have
