Decisions, decisions, decisions

     Yesterday I almost bought a horse.  The owner had logical reasons for parting with him.  The cost, lack  of time, the cost, lack of time etc.  However logic doesn’t always apply to horse ownership.  Most of us do it for illogical reasons that can’t be explained to  someone like Mr. Spock.  In uncertain times when we worry about so much maybe it’s just nice to be around something that truly lives in the present and only demands "I want my carrot –NOW!  Anyway the ending, happy or not, is that the owner decided to keep the critter for the best of illogical reasons–She loves him.

    Neat Story. I lost my job as a Paralegal after 23 years. Nothing is permanent. However, now on unemployment, barely making my bills, would I sell my horse. Only, as the last resort. I would try leasing first. But that doesn’t always work out. Your horse, is your horse. And you love them unconditionally with all your heart. His name is Leo and he is a registered quarter horse. I ride him dressage. But lately on the trail, western because of the “scary” dogs. I use that horn and that bit with a shake and curb strap. He will be 7 on April 15, 2010. I think they should of registered him “Tax Day”, but his registered name is A Version Of Heaven. Interesting huh. Thank you for letting me share my story. We Love Our Horses. Carol and Leo.
