This is a pic I just snapped of our 2 horsebabies, out standing in their field.
Now, they may be ‘outstanding in their field’, (sorry, I know I shouldn’t make stinkie puns, but I couldn’t resist)
but neither of them can be ridden – they are both rescued from truly wretched conditions.
Well, that’s not quite right… the little mare >began< her life in circumstances that were horrid beyond belief, but thank goodness, she was saved by a wonderful rescue organization. And that’s who we adopted her from. She was a mess, but has come along beautifully.
Anyhow, their job is to be loved, and not ridden.
BUT!!!!!
This morning, I was shrieking and hopping up and down when Eric Lamaze won the Gold medal in individual jumping at the Olympics! OHMIGOSH!
Talk about a ‘rescue’! Eric Lamaze came out of incredibly difficult circumstances in his life and has created a moment of magic and delight for himself, his beloved horse, and for those of us who cheered him on.
Hurrah for hard work and determination and the desire and grit that Eric Lamaze put into this marvelous event.
Bless him and his horse, and the people around him.
Gold moment indeed!
