College is beginning which means that I am full of excitement for what adulthood may bring. And I have no idea what is ahead of me. I never would have guessed. Major? Dunno. City to settle in? Dunno. What to do on a Friday night? Saturday night? Monday night? Go to the barn, of course! Prissy is in her prime. And what a prime it is! I have no clue what a great horse I have. I am in awe of other people's big, classy thoroughbreds that jump the moon. I just have a mutt. A little Appy QH. But she is built. And she is a dream to ride. She makes anyone look good. And she will do anything I ask her to do. Tries her heart out.
This mare takes care of me. And, it's a good thing, cuz I am afraid of nothing. Wow, have times changed. That was then.
And, this is now.
We're both a little more gray. We're both a little less fit. We're both a little more wise. We are both a little more careful. Today, this mare will cart around anyone, safely. She rarely bucks. Today I appreciate how lucky I am to have this little, Appy QH mutt. She will always be the one. She is that one great horse that I will always talk about. I wonder if most people ever find that kind of gem. Miss Priss is a once in a lifetime horse. It took alot of years and a few extra horses for me to realize that. My life is blessed.
