Sunshine, Please!!
Ohhhhhh, what I’d give for a day of Spring-like sunshine and warmth right now!!! I find myself wishing my mare hadn’t died 2 or 3 years ago, as well. If she was still around, I could saddle up and go for about a 5 mile ride, and sunshine would just make the ride a WHOLE lot more therapeutic for me!! I’ve missed riding since she’s been gone, and yes, I do have some horses here that I need to work with, but it’s not quite the same as my mare, somehow. Don’t ask me why, other than the fact I don’t know these horses as well, and obviously, I don’t trust them quite as far as I did my own mare. Trust like I had with her can only come with HOURS of working with the horse and being around them. Maybe, by the end of this Summer, I will trust one or two of the ones out here enough to just saddle up and go, but at this point, it’s a matter of not knowing how they will react even being out on the road. I know…one step at a time. But warmth from sunshine and my mare sound SOOOOO wonderful right now!!!
Have a BLESSED weekend, all!!!
