Velvet was a been-there-done-that snorty horse today. You know that long rumble snort that could mean, “I’m getting ready to take the saddle and sky rocket to another universe” snort.
I don’t remember Velvet snort-rumbling in a long time. Then she became a show horse and arched her neck. Oh, I bet she and I were a gorgeous sight.
The cause – two adorable mini horses running in a pasture. Velvet and I were out alone at Pine Dell and we decided to take a stroll off the property. What cute horses they were!
I decided to become patient and let Velvet stare at the mini ponies as long as she wanted. It took her a long while to stare at them. Of course that drove one of them wild. He wanted Velvet. Velvet wasn’t certain just what he was. We stood and watched for a long time. We were even standing on a patch of grass and Velvet didn’t offer to eat any grass. She wasn’t about to lower that head!
Who needs a young green horse when you can experience nearly the same on the been there done that horse. Except, I know that Velvet would never bolt, buck, kick out or rear.
There’s a difference!
