Let’s celebrate the grace and magic that filled our Yeguada El Cautivo on March 25!
It was a day when divine light descended upon our beloved stud farm, blessing both our team and our precious horses. Our friend and companion, Padre Latus, extended his hands full of love and kindness over each member of our team and every one of our loyal four-legged friends.
The aura of love and blessings enveloped us as Padre Latus spoke words of protection and guidance for everyone. It was a moment of deep emotion, where we felt the divine presence accompanying us in every step of our journey, all thanks to him.
And then, what a feast for our senses! Not only because of the lunch awaiting us at the majestic Hotel Castillo de Montemayor but also because it was a banquet for our souls, thanks to the music of Lole Montoya that reached us deeply. The hands of Juan Carmona caressing his guitar, and the vibrant rhythm of Tino di Geraldo on percussion.
We felt blessed, and we already were, and also prepared to embrace the divine mandate entrusted to us. We are beings of light, gathered with a purpose: the good. Guided by divine wisdom and unconditional love, we commit to continuing to illuminate the path for those around us, to be beacons of hope and compassion in a world that needs it so much.
May light and love continue to guide us on our journey toward goodness and compassion. So be it!
