Today I had one of those BFO (Blinding Flash of the Obvious) Moments. I'm sure you've all heard people say how special, important and amazing their horse is, you've probably told someone yourself. That is what I told everyone, except the only problem was, I never really 'felt' he was 'that' special. I mean, everyone else was so sure their horse was that special that I wanted to feel that, while my horse can't even canter a slow circle their horses ranged from consistant blue ribbon winners and professional horses, while I pretty much have about as normal horse as they come. I don't have a clue who's Pride dad is, Pride isn't papered. He's got alot of flaws. I always took a look at everyone elses horse and wondered, I'm put so much more time into Pride than they have in their horses and why am I not getting that? It seemed there was always a horse more special and better than mine, every night I would lay in bed frustrated that I didn't have that, that I couldn't say with honesty that I'd seen a horse Pride was better than. I feel terrible now for thinking the slightest thought that my horse wasn't special. Today, I got the confirmation I needed to know he was. While I cooled Pride out from our 2 1/2 mile jog around the farm, I was leading him down the road just chatting to him, when I got hit with a wave of emotion, I almost started crying right in the middle of our road as we walked slowly along. I looked into my boys big, brown eyes and I realized just how far we've come, how much he's taught me, how patient he is when I've been so impatient, and how he really is a gift from God. I couldn't ask for a more special horse for me, I truly believe he is my angel sent here to watch me and guide me.
I love you Pride!!!
Keep it natural,

Oh so sweet of a story! My horse has taught me patients for sure and I am still learning everyday! He always makes me smile even on the worst of days!
