About Horses

As I mentioned in the previous post I grew up with lots of animals around. But the horse was the one for me. When he came to live with us Robin was 22 years old and I was 4. My parents didn't even consider allowing me to ride at that age and all I wanted was to be near him. So I spent four years just hanging out with this amazing creature and learning some deep lessons of love and patience. I'm telling you all this because I have a rare horse cartoon coming up. And I do mean rare. Something about being mentored by a horse has left me reverent but not very playful when it comes to equines. It's a personal blind spot, I think, but once in a while I get one off.
