officially ONE YEAR since I've owned you. Exactly one year ago today, our two week trial was ended, you passed the vet check and I handed over the money. It was the beginning of a whole new experience but most importantly, a friendship that could never be broken.
Looking back on that day, I can honestly say I have never made a better decision in my entire life. We've been through a lot of though times even times when we both wanted to give up. People told us, and my family, that they didn't think it would work out. Well, that's just another thing we added to our "We proved them wrong!" list.
It was hard at first, accepting the fact that you were my horse. You were not a lease, you were mine. Along with being mine came a lot of responsibility, time and money (LOL). You've taught me so many valuable skills I will need when I grow up or simply to have a lasting relationship. Patience, perseverance, understanding, determination - some of the thousands of words that rush into my head.
Most importantly you have taught me to look on the positive side of things. When I was kicked I couldn't help but look at you pushing up against the gate looking at me. Simply wanting to be there with me. That is one of the moments I realized how much I love you. What a truly amazing feeling to have when you know your horse loves you as much as you love them. You have a bond that cannot be separated... not even by a gate.
I am overwhelmed with happiness and pride when I walk into the barn an see you happily munching away on your hay. That is my horse. Tanner belongs to me. Everything we ever were, or are going to be was accomplished by us. We have made it so, so, far. I love you so much Tanner. I am so happy that you are my horse, you are perfect! & I would be lost without you buddy.
*sorry, I know I have another thread going, I just thought I'd share hah..
