I've been pining for my horses. You see, back in late November my horse-trainer decided to move down state. It was a difficult problem for me: I wanted to keep the horses close but I didn't have the resources or the time to deal with them. Mom was getting sicker and I had zero spare time to manage or clean up after horses. I made the decision to let them move with the trainer, until I could make some rational decision in the future.
Death and dying are outstanding refiners of attitude. Through Mom's illness I missed being with my horses....missed being outside, missed touching their muzzles, missed the stress relief riding a great horse can be for me.
The wiener dog instinctively knew I had a horse-shaped hole in my heart. She gamely tried to humor me. She patiently endured my enthusiastic demonstration of how to make a cool cowboy string halter.

Don't ask her about the day I hand-galloped her around the circle driveway.
Lucky for the wiener...the horses is coming! the horses is coming!! I've been planning. Death has made me realize how much I truly and deeply enjoy my equines. I don't want them out of my life.....yet. (sorry, Texan...he thinks horses are expensive!) They will be returning around the middle of this month.

I'm giddy. Can't wait to brush and lead and ride and get horse kisses and be outside with friends.
Roxy-Doxy is glad, too. She wasn't looking forward to feeling these in her sides.
Rope halter love to all.

Congrats, Kate! Glad to hear your ponies are coming home. Can't wait to see more pictures. I'd try to reassure the Texan that they aren't expensive, but you and I both know I'd be lying like a rug. But, I'd rather be a poor horse owner than a rich non-horse owner.
Giddy-up! K

Hi Sweety,
Glad to hear you're getting back with the horses. My Debi says hi, wished she could have been with us on our visit, maybe later this year.
Love you much,
Mike & Debi
Oh I can just imagine - it must feel like missing a limb. I'm so glad you're going to be reunited!
Ooooooooooh, I can feel your excitement and joy at the prospect of haviong your babies back (smile). Roxy-Doxie must be hugely relieved to be soon passing the harness back to them..!
