She's the one thing in my life that keeps me grounded. When everything else is out of my control, thoughts spinning in my head and life in an 'unknown' state - she's there. Feet firmly planted on the ground. Whether I ride every day or don't get to ride for a year, she's ready to go. And she loves to go.
Yesterday was the first ride in a while. We actually got out on the road and explored new sights. Cars whizzed by and she trotted along as if they didn't even exist. She prances and dances and loves our rides. I think she misses the long ones as much as I do.
At 29 you would think she's slowed down. The gray hairs are starting to appear mainly on her face. She's earned every one of them. Keeping her healthy has been a priority and it shows. A little out of shape, nothing that a few consistent rides won't cure. We miss the trails and will be working up our endurance together.
We don't get as much time together lately as I would like, so we make it count when we are together. Whether it's a ride, a good brushing or just a vet visit. We connect. 5 minutes with her and the world quiets down and stops spinning. Everything feels brighter.
She's the best part of life and so worth waking up for.
Blessed by God
Life smells like horses @ the Bright Side of the Barn
Thanks for Stopping by
Until next time, Stay Safe and Happy Trails.
