Defined as full of energy, enthusiasm, and determination.

This weekend I was at Medicine Horse Ranch participating in the monthly equine coaching program. I have mostly worked with stallions, but this time a mare I had never met was waiting in the corral with 2 other familiar horses. (Her name is Sueva, which means little miracle in an African dialect and is a registered Polish Arabian rescued from a neglectful breeding center.) As soon as I walked towards them to begin our observation practice, she eagerly trotted over, put her head above the rail, and greeted me with a nudge. Responding to this warm welcome, I naturally started petting her neck. She then energetically moved around the corral while the other horses focused on eating the grass. Spirited immediately popped into my head as a description and, with the influence of mirroring, I realized I AM spirited too! No matter what is presented!
