Einstein the Mini Guy!

Recently I wrote a post called "Is Your Mama a Mare: After Birth Care". Along with that article I posted a picture of a cute little guy stretching by his mama. Usually I just type into google "horses" and find the best picture that suits my post. This time I did a little more research and found out this little guy really is a big deal! This black and white stallion's name is Einstein and he currently holds the world record for the being the smallest horse born to date. He was born April 22, 2010 on a farm in Barnstead, New Hampshire. Weighing in at just 6 lbs and only coming up in at 14 inches tall, he beat out all other mini ponies in the world. Einstein has been declared perfectly healthy by veterinarians and he lives happily on his farm, and it doesn't hurt he gets plenty of media attention. He now has his own web page at einsteinminihorse.com. The most exciting news is that coming soon is the "A friend for Einstein" book that will be co-written with Disney Book Group. The book will celebrate this unique mini horse and show off his cute personality to the world! Check out some of the cute images below that will be sure to melt your heart!

Happy Trails

Howdy ya’ll! I hope you have truly enjoyed visiting and reading the posts of Hoof Prints On The Heart as much I have enjoyed writing and researching them. Unfortunately, my time has come to a bitter sweet end as I will no longer be able to contribute to this wonderful web page. It has been a fantastic experience working with my co writer Raye, and I am going to greatly miss it. However, I do not feel as if I have the proper amount of time to commit to the continued writing and dedication this blog deserves. Therefore I have decided to say “Happy Trails” to ya’ll, but first I would like to leave you with the amazing experiences that Hoof Prints On The Heart has given to me.

What started as a simple page without any real destination or goal, quickly formed into a home and inspiration for horse lovers all over the world. The thoughts and experiences that I have had throughout my life gave me the words to fill this blog. However, I never expected to gain so much back in return from what little it seemed like I had to offer to this web page. By sharing bits and pieces of my life and love for my horses, I broadened and expanded my own knowledge and understandings. I was able to write approximately twenty eight different posts or articles that have contributed to making Hoof Prints On The Heart a part of what it has now become. I cannot help but smile at this small yet wonderful accomplishment.

Additionally, the cyberspace world is filled with hundreds of blogs, websites, videos, pictures, and wonderful stories about horses. However, Hoof Prints On The Heart provided me with an amazing and unique experience of becoming a part of a very small group of internet sources that focus their content on the equine showing industry around the world. It was a difficult task to find material to share with ya’ll at times, but it was an extremely rewarding experience to now look back upon something magnificent that I was able to be a part of creating. I would like to take the time to give a HUGE thank you to my co writer Raye. She has been an awesome partner and friend as we have tackled the task of making this blog a success. She helped to inspire me with ideas and new posts because she provided amazing support and friendship. Thank You Raye!

Well folks… this is the end of my journey. Thank you to all of the readers who have visited Hoof Prints On The Heart and have read and supported us. You have inspired me with confidence and a deeper passion for the amazing animals that we all love… our horses. Thank you again! Later Partners!

A Passion Of The Soul

Hey my fellow horse lovers. This is an amazing video clip that you HAVE to see! Not only are the pictures of the horses wonderful and beautiful, but the song is absolutely amazing! See for yourself…

That song, being sang by Natasha Bedingfield, gives my goose bumps and speaks straight to my heart every time. It is featured on one of my favorite horse movies of all time also, Flicka. The first time I ever heard that song I could not help but fall in love with it! The words are so beautiful that I wanted to share them with you also.

Ooh

I feel these four walls closin’ in

Face up against the glass

I’m lookin’ out, hmm

Is this my life I’m wonderin’

It happens so fast

How do I turn this thing around?

Is this the bed I chose to make?

Its greener pastures I’m thinkin’ about

Hmm, wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair

To face the fear but not feel scared

Wild horses I wanna be like you

Throwin’ caution to the wind, I’ll run free too

Wish I could recklessly love like I’m longin’ to

I wanna run with the wild horses

Run with the wild horses, oh

Yea, yea

I see the girl I wanna be

Ridin bare back, carefree

Along for shore

If only that someone was me

Jumpin’ head first, head long

Without a thought

To act and down the consequence

How I wish it could be that easy?

But fear surrounds me like a fence

I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair

To face the fear but not feel scared

Ooh, wild horses I wanna be like you

Throwin’ caution to the wind, I’ll run free too

Wish I could recklessly love like I’m longin’ to

Wanna run with the wild horses

Run with the wild horses

I wanna run too

Ooh

Recklessly emboundin’ myself before you

I wanna open up my heart

Telling how I feel

Ooh, wild horses I wanna be like you

Throwing caution to the wind, I’ll run free too

Wish I could recklessly love like I’m longin’ to

I wanna run with the wild horses

Run with the wild horses

Run with the wild horses

Ohh, yea, yea

I wanna run with the wild horses, ooh

The love of horses is a deep passion that consumes your soul. At least it is for me… if you have a horse of your own I can almost guarantee it is for you as well because the feeling is addicting. I love this song and thought that ya’ll would to. Hope you enjoyed it. Later Partner!
