pony time

So. for many years i was worried that for everyone person, there is only one soul mate. and that perhaps it was possible for those souls to be stuck in another species' body. like my cat, or this horse i was enamored with named Arthur.
Well, i am pretty sure that i have found my soul mate, and lucky for me, she's a real human. I rarely become so enamored with a creature these days, and i think it partly has to do with the fact that i am no longer searching for that companionship and devotion... however, i met this very hansom fellow last week, who's name is "the Queen's Admiral" , Admiral for short.... and I have not been able to stop thinking about him since. I really wasnt him to be mine one day, so i can call him addy and clean him for hours a day, every day, and not feel like a creap. Admiral is this 16h2or3in horse (in non horse lingo... a tall bugger) and he is gray with dark dapples on his haunches, and a black mane and tail. He's four, and a thoroughbred, but has a full barrel and meaty neck for a TB. And the most dashing face, ever. now, what i think i find most endearing about him is his personality which is somewhere in between a toddler with A.D.D. and a hansom young man who's super good at athletics and is just figuring it out.
He'll go from being completely distracted, to a hot shot bouncing around the ring, snorting and huffing at a cat on the wall to one of the most powerful and focus jumpers i've ever ridden. He loves to jump. like seriously LOVES to jump. and does so. about a foot and a half over everything you put him to.
It's really endearing, and a good quality for a show jumper, which is what i'm into, and want a horse for. if only i had a few more thousand dollars........




hurumph. The only thing to do now is to wait and see. keep riding him in my lessons, and in the spring, when i have boat loads of money (fingers crossed) i'll try and convince them all to sell him to me, cause he's my current favorite. *did i mention he's a booger and spooky and hard to ride..... so hopefully no one else will fall in love with him.... eeeep.

he kindda looks like that. 'cept hansomer. way more hansom. just sayin'
