Karen, you are such a talented writer! I love reading your stories!
Whoa! I cannot imagine riding that many miles! What is your total?
This is a wonderful story. When horses are in your blood, you are a "lifer" no matter the discipline or style of riding. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Merri - nice to hear from you! I still keep up with my endurance pals through their own blogs (such as yours), Facebook, and word of mouth. You never know, I may hit the endurance trail again! For now, I am having fun in my white breeches. We're heading to the UK tomorrow where I have a "hack" scheduled" - but of course, eh?!
I appreciate the fact that you shared this story to us. All people have their own different fascinations, but yours is truly different. The way you've written the story was full of love. I felt that horses occupy a big space of your whole personality, and they matter a lot to you. How I wish all people are as passionate as you towards animals. Animals also know how to love!
