One of my favorite things to do is visit a few horses that live down the street. The family is great to let us (me, and various family members) come by during the week to offer carrots and watermelon rinds, dessert for these big animals. They’re in a pasture where there used to be just one horse (who’s since moved up to some kind of performance level– I miss you Silly!). And actually, even before Silly, there was this beauty.
The three horses there now have such personalities. One is the boss and likes to lick my hands even after the treats are gone. The other is a real good hugger. The third one, an older horse, we get to see him sometimes but he’s mostly doing whatever he can to avoid the other two bigger horses.
Spending time with them just confirms how much I love horses. Not that I’ll ever get one… because maybe they’re like boats– it’s better to have a friend who has a boat than to own one yourself.
Here’s a video from one of our visits. Comment below with your horse experience, any fun stories, or with a reason or two why I should think about getting one.
