Horses have been my passion since before I can remember, if my mother is to be believed. She related that my first word was “hoss”. Before we moved to this country, when we lived in Kent, our milk was delivered by horse drawn wagon. The horses, Silver and Dolly, lived in a nearby field and I loved to feed a piece of bread to the hard working animals.
Well, now my fondest dreams have been realized, and I have had a life with horses. I am the one doing the hard work. Harry and I often say that if aliens came down from outer space and observed us for a day or two, they would assume we humans were servants of the other creatures – dogs, cats and horses.
They are a great deal of work… but at least they are very expensive, too!
All of the animals bring us immense joy, but horses in particular are magical. They outweigh us by more than ten times. We are as small in relation to our horses as Roscoe, the cat is in relation to us! Yet they allow us to boss them around and ride them, and they entertain us with their antics. We are astonished daily by how lucky we are to live with these creatures.
Harry has two passions, of course – the animals and the artwork. He is able to enjoy the horses from the window, and the dogs and cats are paws on helping him recover. Soon he will be back in the studio, where Jackie Joyner Kersee awaits him…
And that is all from here after another day on the road to recovery…
Be safe, be well, get better! Be grateful for small improvements. They add up. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
