OPEN YOUR HEART, first of his name
However, before all else, Open Your Heart is the unique story of a black stallion whose prestigious origins destined him to find himself on the upper Chilcotin Plateau, the land of the mustangs with whom he grew up and became the fully formed stallion he is today. He was named, Open Your Heart, after the original, long-forgotten name of our ranch and it is close to our hearts.
Life in the herd has allowed him to express the full wealth of his personality and has given him the physical, mental and emotional exercise which he needs to remain well-balanced and healthy and respectful of the mares and us.
He is particularly sociable and robust with a mild and calming temperament, and he has gradually revealed his charismatic and winning ways through his nobility tinged with humour.
Today, this King of the North knows the wolf’s song and the hardships of the Canadian winter, the whisper of the wind in the spruce trees and the Northern Lights, the warmth of a heart which has finally blossomed. The blood of his foals will be infused with this poem, and they will be a celebration of the harshness, intensity and beauty of existence.
