The mountain theory.
Growth begins when you leave comfort behind. Most stay in the valley where it's safe, but nothing changes there. The climb is hard, the path lonely, but the higher you go, the clearer everything becomes. The mountain doesn't offer ease, but it offers perspective. ~ Unknown
This reminded me of Tonkawa. He went through a very scary, for us, injury a couple of summers ago, where he almost couldn't walk. His front legs for whatever reason were giving out on him. Thank God, he recovered and seems fine now. And through this situation, he kept fighting with other stallions! I had never been so scared when watching this. My heart literally dropped when he kept taunting Sundance, as they were tussling, Tonkawa fell to the ground. Thank God, he was able to get back up. These horses are so strong and resilient. No one knows what caused this to him, but I hope it doesn't happen again, or to another. ❤
