Anyone that knows me well knows that I adore elephants. They are among the most sensitive, sweet and creative creatures there are. They are also the most empathetic. If you haven’t read the book When Elephants Weep, I highly recommend it. Elephants travel in herds and, when a member of the herd passes, it’s traumatic for them. Years later, if they pass a spot where a former member of the herd has passed, the elephants will circle the area and weep for the lost herd member.

I love them.

That is amazing!! I never knew that about elephants. I have always thought that they were amazing creatures, but hadn’t learned too much about them. My focus has always been horses – we have 6 now, 4 of which have been rescues. To me working with the horses is therapy and something I enjoy with my children. They all help out caring, feeding and rehabilitating the horses – it is a great experience.
