Stand beside you

"Stand beside you."

- Written by Don Jessop, from the kid inside me for the kid inside you!

Horsey, horsey may I ride you?
If not ride, then stand beside you?

If I earn your trust to guide you
Would you see me as a friend too

In the past you have been lied to
But with me, you'll find a soul true

You stole my heart and I am proud to
Say I'm part of all that you do

In my life there's nothing I choose
That compares to what we've been through

When I walk a mile in your shoes
I see how much I am just like you

Wild and heart and kind of shy too
Willing, strong, intention so true

Horsey, horsey may I ride you?
If not ride, then stand beside you?

I've been writing and writing and writing, all because of you, my dear horsey friends. Over the the last season I published three new books. Check them out here and be inspired to be a better leader.

Oh Don, your writing brought tears of joy to me. I ask this of Rydell every time I see him. And Rydel answers me. What a gift. He always says yes. But I sometimes say let’s just take a break today and enjoy our company together. He loves that too. We are partners…. that’s what it’s all about. Thank you for all of your help on this beautiful. journey.

After years of riding competitively, I am now, at 71 yrs , literally standing beside our two horses who cannot be ridden. And my husband and I are enjoying this more every day. We do ground exercises with them and have watched them open up into real friends who trust us and look forward tp our company. Wish I had known this way to be friends with our horses years ago. Making up for it has become our reason to go to the barn every day. Thanks for your inspiring articles. We have two of your books, too.
