My obsession

How many times do people ask you in a really absurd and rude way, "Why do you like horses?" You give them the same answer. Then they're like, "That sounds really easy, doesn't the horse do all the work?" But they're not really asking you, but rather accusing you of being a non-athletic, addicted, same old same old horse lover. And really isn't that what we are? (except for the non-athletic part). Not that it's boring to love horses, because we all love them in different ways. We are 100% addicted and in love with horses and everything about them. We all love different horses and we all can't stand being away from them. I mean isn't it crazy what we'll do for our dearest "pets" in the whole world?

Again, horses are just a bit different, don't you see by now that they're not just a pet, not just an animal, but a true friend. I've said in many other posts that they are a majestic and unique animal. They have they're own personalities, just like us humans. I'm not saying that they are like humans because they are different in many good ways. But honestly, do you every realize how many times we say (in baby voices), "He says, 'what's that'," or, "He says, can I have some too?," or, "He says, 'I love you too'!" Honestly, we are actually talking for our dear ponies because we understand what they say. We think and we might know exactly what he's saying and we talk for him. We say that to whomever is there with us. We truly understand what they are saying because we know and love them in such a special way. Just like when we have are closest friend, we can understand what they are thinking just by their body language or facial expression! Horses aren't any different, right? But they are different. They are the same as our closest friend because they are one of our dear friends or boyfriends (Clara & Oli)! But they are also different because even if we tell them an insult about someone or something, or we tell them our saddest meanest story of some sort, anything we tell them seems to just sink into they're sweat little/big hearts and they don't judge us, laugh at us, or say something hurtful; no, they just listen. It feels like they are that comforting mother-like, actually father-like figure. Such love as that between a horse and his rider will never be broken, or at least in my life it won't. I want to gallop off into the sunset, just my pony and me!

Too bad I can't ride, too bad I can't always be at the barn longing to take on new challenges and start doing exciting things with my dear friend and all my dear friends. I'll always know that my special pony, my special companion, my special go to person/pony, my partner in crime, and my true friend will always be there for me, even in my heart I know that he is always listening, especially if I have carrots!
