2026: Cultivating Wabi Sabi

Welcome to the year of the horse, and I have a horse ;-) I asked him about the deeper meaning of this year, and he responded with a request for more carrots. Ralph was lame when I bought him. His conformation is not great - a crooked leg and a club foot. The outlook for a lame horse with poor conformation is not good. However, we have worked diligently on alignment and using his body correctly and he is now mostly sound. We ride Dressage and on the trails and are having a grand old time.

Wabi Sabi is the Japenese art of appreciating the beauty in imperfect things. While Ralph has limitations, his “try” is high because he has so much to overcome. He is like many of us who are not perfect, but we soldier on. I am inspired by my horse, and by the concept of Wabi Sabi, and so it is this year’s theme.
