Howdy Friends! Mother’s Day. What a wonderful day to celebrate. What a wonderful reason to celebrate! It truly is the mothers who make the world go round. There can be no denying that fact.
Who else but a mother can so lovingly apply just the right bandaid to a skinned knee?
Who else but a mother can help put the windblown baby Robins back in their nest? Mothers sit quietly listening to the triumphs and failures of their children. Offering celebration and compassion with a hug and a kiss.
Ahh yes, it is not only good to celebrate mothers, but it is correct.
As we would surely be lost without their tender, and keen ways of making sure all is well in the family. Is there anything in this world more powerful than a mother’s love? I think not.

The stream had swelled twice its width in mere moments with the sudden heavy rain. To cross it the mare would need to fight the raging current. She could see her foal on the other side pacing the bank.
It seemed the foal was about to test the water.
With a squeal and a buck the mare plunged into icy, fierce water. Fighting hard, she struggled to keep sight of her frightened baby. Calling out when she could. Her foal moved too close to the water.
The mare lunged with all her strength. Time and time again the current knocked her back. Time after time she plunged on. Each struggle tired her more. Finally she felt solid footing beneath her hooves. She raced to her foal, collided with him, driving him far back from the angry water. Shoving him with her powerful, solid chest. Back, back she drove him.
Once in safety she licked his wet back, and nickered softly.
