Haley uses her bare hands to massage Zum’s back as she says that his back is tense and painful.

I am heart-broken that I cannot ride Zum as he recovers from the trauma of the ranch saddle accident. I can lunge him in the round pen. I can teach him tricks. Humans are mortal and fragile but I want to carry my past into the future. I want to live as I have never lived and look forward with hope. I want to hope that Zum and I can ride again on the trails as this is what we both love to do together.

I wish I could erase Zum’s ranch saddle accident from my past. However hard I try, I cannot erase the past accidents. Looking back is wasting precious time.

My neighbor tells me to talk to Zum as if he is my best friend. Tell him what I am doing and why. Let him know that I am only doing things for his best interest.
