Highs and lows

Today was suppose to be a day for me and my boy Blu. A day when I did not have to rush to and from the barn. A good curry scratching all the right spots, a ride to satisfy my soul and then more currying and brushing. Heat some water and clean my tack but I ended up going to the barn with a heavy heart. A fellow boarder lost her horse to colic last evening. So it was a melancholy day. It reminded me though how every moment with my beloved friend is special. So I did not get the tack cleaned but I did have a lovely ride and Blu got curried and scratched in all the right spots. I am grateful that I have such a wonderful horse. I am grateful for my friends I get to share my happiness with and most of all I am grateful for the love that comes back to me from all my friends - human and equine alike. RIP Wally... You will me missed
