When I am an Old Horsewoman

When I am an old Horsewoman
I shall wear turquoise and diamonds,
and a straw hat that doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my social security on red wine and carrots,
And sit in my alley-way of my barn
And listen to my horses breathe.
I will sneak out in the middle of a summer night
And ride the old bay gelding,
Across the moonstruck meadow
If my old bones will allow.
And when people come to call, I will smile and nod
As I walk past the gardens to the barn and show instead the flowers
growing inside stalls fresh-lined with straw.
I will shovel and sweat and wear hay in my hair as if it were a jewel.
And I will be an embarrassment to all,
Who will not yet have found the peace in being free to have a horse as a
best friend,
A friend who waits at midnight hour
With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes
For the kind of woman I will be
When I am old.

Feeling down? Saddle up!

This was truly one of the best weekends, for horseback riding, that Minnesota has seen in a long time!  A touch of fall was in the air, all along the Minnesota River Valley. The horses truly appreciated the cooler weather, as did we!

While we’re sure that you’d rather be out on the horse trails, we found a few places that may take your mind off the daily grind of a Monday.

Hope you enjoy the ride!

Don’t forget … River Valley Horse Ranch is Open Everyday 10:00 am – 7:00 pm for guided trail rides and horseback riding. River Valley Horse Ranch is the perfect setting for your next private event, corporate meeting or celebration! Reservation Line: 952-361-3361

The Horse Boy
