By
Sue Palmer
on
June 14, 2021
‘Her frustration rose each time he jerked his head away from her. Why did he have to be so annoying? It wasn’t as though she was asking much of him. She just wanted to clean the mud from behind his ears. They couldn’t go to the lesson looking like this.’ A study published in 2016 […]

To a Trickle Haynet

Oh evil instrument of equine teasing, morsels of food through micro holes squeezing. Filling my belly is much impeded. Takes lots of effort and much time needed. Your green nylon string so thick and strong. For a horse this is torture and just plain wrong. Tempting strands visible but so hard to attain. So very […]

How To Be Happier: Conclusion We are all in the same storm, but we are not all in the same boat. My counsellor used to comment that if I had a broken leg, I’d be pointing out that someone with two broken legs was worse off than me. She was telling me that it was […]

Safety “You’re never perfectly safe. No human being on Earth ever is or ever was. To live is to risk your life, your heart, everything.” Rick Yansey, The Last Star When I first thought about this chapter, I was going to write about how being safe makes us happier. And to a large degree, that’s […]
