me and my lovely luna at the hunter pace today. we had such a blast. first pace for luna and she was a total gem. we crossed water up to her chest, galloped across fields, jumped ditches, and had an amazing ride.
When I Am An Old Horsewoman
I shall wear turquoise and diamonds,
And a straw hat that doesn’t suit me
And I shall spend my social security on
white wine and carrots,
And sit in my alleyway of my barn
And listen to my horses breathe.
I will sneak out in the middle of a summer night
And ride the old bay gelding,
Across the moonstruck meadow
If my old bones will allow
And when people come to call, I will smile and nod
As I walk past the gardens to the barn
and show instead the flowers growing
inside stalls fresh-lined with straw.
I will shovel and sweat and wear hay in my hair
as if it were a jewel
And I will be an embarrassment to ALL
Who will not yet have found the peace in being free
to have a horse as a best friend
A friend who waits at midnight hour
With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes
For the kind of woman I will be
When I am old.

Sat outside feeding Traveller his bedtime meal and stared at the stars while listening to him happily munch away. Every now and then he’d give me a little nudge with his nose. It was such a peaceful quiet moment. I love my elderly sweet horse with all my heart. I’m a lucky girl to have such amazing creatures in my life.
