He made it...
Action is here.
Finally. He got here around 6:30/7:00pm. Even though we don't have a saddle or hackamore for him yet, we still rode both horses together for a bit. Eric rode Action bareback with a halter and two leads as reins. He did great. (Both of 'em...) Storm and Action get along fine, too, thank God. They're both geldings, but Action wasn't gelded til he was 12, so he has a little 'stud' stuff left over... like attitude. Not bad, just it's there. He was the only one doing the stamping and squealing. Storm just looked at him like he was goofy. And, oddly enough, Storm was the one who took the lead for the stream crossings and such. True, he's been here longer, but he's also got sight problems, so it was kinda cool. Kinda like 'the blind leading the FNG'. But, truely, they're both excellent horses and I thank God Himself that we were given the opportunity to know and have them both. Neither Eric or I can quite believe this yet. The whole time we were riding together, we kept saying, "Do you believe this?" and, "Would you have ever believed when we were at Wellacrest that we'd ever own two horses?" Nope. Truth be told, when I was at Wellacrest, I had money, but I was miserable. Now, we don't have money, but we're both happier than we ever thought we'd be. Ever. With each day that goes by, I'm finding it harder and harder to believe I'm still me and this is still my same life. It couldn't be any different than it was and still be the same one... ya know? It's almost scary. (So is the fact that I have a Cadbury Almond chocolate bar next to me and all I keep doing is looking at it. I've had a little of it, but... I think I must be more tired than I realize... lol) (Far be it for me to denigrate Hershey chocolate, living in the Commonwealth that I do, but... I'm sorry. Cadbury chocolate KICKS Hershey's ass... easily.) Anyhoo... off ta bed wit my ass. Gotta get shit ready for 'company' tomorrow and I have this really cool guy with a really cool horse to hang with, so.... Peace.And, again... Thank You, God.

Hi Babe,
It's so good to hear you are so happy with your two horses. You've been a horse (and animal)
person since you were about three. Having a houseful of cats, getting two hamsters and ending up with 30, living with several dogs in the house,etc. has a tendency to turn your living quarters into something between a barn and Noah's Ark. Having two fairly healthy horses, a pardner to ride with and acres of ground to use is so fantastic for you. It's great to hear, and I hope it gets better.
Love you,
Dad

Posts like this are more enjoyable to read that the ones where you're cryin' tears the size of horse turds over stuff you can't do anything about. Just sayin'.
