Rocky Mountain High!!
1. The Intro Horse
We each came into horses in our own way, but it was always with a horse leading us. This might have been a friend’s first pony, or perhaps it was a draft horse on a farm you once visited. It might have been a real-life meeting, or an imaginary one on the carosel at the local fair...who was he/she?
2. The Experimental/Challenger Horse
Once you crossed the line between “Darn, they’re big!” and “Wow! Can I try that?” you found yourself face-to-face with the horse that would suffer (or make you suffer) through your early attempts at figuring out the whole horse experience… wherever this horse came from, he probably didn’t benefit from the encounter as much as you did. It might be difficult to believe as you are flying down the aisleway on the losing end of a braided cotton line, but you actually need(ed) this horse in your life before you could move on to your next (and hopefully final) horse…
3. Your Deepest Heart Horse - your equine soul mate
There will come a time when you will look at yourself with a cold, appraising eye, and you’ll have to be honest about your continued ability to deal with The Challenger and other difficult horses. At that point, you’ll seek out the horse that will be your soul mate, your forever horse…When you find him, you’ll buy him the best equipment (that actually compliments his color!)… Maybe you’ll go to shows and ride – brilliantly or barely – in the Alzheimer’s class. Maybe you’ll just stay home. Whatever you do, one day you’ll realize that you have finally found your equine soul mate. Have you found him yet?
