Clockwise from top left: This year’s event showcased 25 different organic heirloom varieties. Volunteers prepare at one of the indoor tables before the crowds arrive. In the face of increasingly stiff winds, Earthwise president Dave Robinson anchors a display tent. Chef Derek Bothwell of Chill Winston restaurant cooks and preps tomatoes for the crowd.

Horsing Around in Delta Horse and Humans: A Special Bond for all Ages!

www.crescentstables.com

Crescent Stables Ltd. Hunters

By Candice Miller of Pony Pals Riding Stables It’s a magical thing, that bond that occurs between a child and their horse, something which words cannot describe effectively, but you can recognize immediately. It becomes a core part of the child’s identity, an amazing connection, a piece of completion found through an unusual best friend- a large, loving kind equine. Quietly whispered words of love into a fuzzy perked ear, arms wrapped around the heavily muscled neck, and the look in the horses eyes that says “ I love you, I understand you, and I totally accept you as you are.”

There is an accepted truth amongst even the smallest children of three who come out to our stables for their weekly ride: their pony loves them the best, that he is the best pony in the world, and that he would prefer to sleep at the foot of his rider’s bed!” It’s not quite enough to ride a pony, and not even to own a pony, but it might even be best to BE a pony! Many little girls and boys can be seen cantering around their house, practicing jumping over furniture scattered throughout the living room. Riding day is always the highlight of the week, with the clothes often laid out the night before.

As they grow up into an age of school stresses, and greater awareness, into the world of structure and expectations, riding takes on a different meaning: the child arrives at the barn and immediately begins to relax and refocus, a whiskery kiss and a shaggy hug makes manageable the problems of the school day.

Confidence is rebuilt, and the child feels accepted in the stables welcoming community: after the ride, the knowledge they have a place where they are always successful carries them forward to the next week.

In the teen years, the need to have the equine bond intensifies. In a tumultuous time of their life, teens look to their horse for strength, unquestioning acceptance and support, quietude and stability. The horse and their barn friends become a “constant” in their life, a place where they can be guaranteed success through dedication, learn responsibility, and be thoroughly gratified by the experience.

The huge amount of respect, adoration, admiration, responsibility and commitment required to create and maintain this attachment is intense, and is an important life skill. The only thing greater is what the horse gives back to the rider: self-confidence, security, unconditional love, joy of life, inner peace and a sense of self-worth. To know that no matter what happens, there is someone who loves them, needs them and will always be there for them, no matter what the outside circumstances of life bring.

The horses only expectation is to be treated fairly, be loved in return, and an occasional carrot!

As an adult, riding takes on an entirely different meaning: it’s a time where the rider can just relax,

focus on their own goals, and put all the problems of family, work and stress away. The barn is a sanctuary for the entire family, an emotional safety zone, and a place where dreams really can come true. A place where all those who share this passion for horses can congregate with the same mutual need: To be with their horse, because they’ve been dreaming of him all day!
