“Often the hardest struggles in life are not the big ones: death of a family member, loss of a job, or even sickness, because in these situations the problems are “big” enough where the world knows you are struggling and the collective sympathy of friends and family negate a good portion of the hardship.

“Feel is a combination of sensitivity, intuition, and empathy. It's one of the most important things to learn when working with horses or with people. (...) feel can't really be taught; it can only be learned.
