The other day, I hopped over to their website and totally fell in love with the magazine. I plunked down the money for an annual subscription and have been perusing the archives ever since.
In one of the earliest issues of the magazine, there is an article called Where is He? and it was all about how we connect - in time - with our horse.
Two excerpts from the article:
[Your horse] is right here. Right now. He exists as a pure being, his consciousness completely in this moment. Not the last moment. Or the moment before. He really doesn't care what you did two moments ago, he cares about now. He exists in now.
Our mind is everywhere but in the now. If you want to talk to the horse, you have to find the ability to join him where he is. In this moment. This moment that is gone the next, to a new moment that you must be in, releasing the moment that came before and that you were just in. You begin by living in each moment, moment by moment, letting go of all the moments before . . .The author goes on to say that by living, fully present in each moment, something amazing begins to happen. Time begins to stand still, allowing each moment to stretch longer and longer. We can then become aware of more because we find more time to observe. We find the place where our horse lives.
Wow!

Why yes! That is what Pat says. Horses live in the moment. It is really hard for humans though. We think too much.
Pat - and others - have said it but sometimes it takes a new phrasing to really understand it.
I loved the way the author spoke of the "magic" that happens when we allow the moments to cascade rather than gripping too tight to moments that have passed or grasping for moments yet to come. Almost to live outside our construct of "time."
totally zen! Off to the website I go!
Wow. This is a great blog post, Lisa. Thank you for sharing this!
