Kathy in PA, I agree about a "moment of grace." Living where we have some land with grass and woods is what I always dreamed of growing up in the city. I no longer have Seeks (Secret Permission, a great grandson of Secretariat), as I had to put him down because of his back issues, but he was a very handsome Thoroughbred that I bought off the track at 3. I now own Land Rover, a 9 y/o Friesian Sporthorse who is the love of my life. (Yes, DH and the kids know where they are in the pecking order!) I wish I could post pictures for you.;) My childhood obsession with horses started in 3rd grade. I finally convinced my parents a few years later to let me take riding lessons. My Mom's thought was, "This will either last 6 weeks, or the rest of her life." I'm pretty sure it's the second one, Mom! -- Ladies of Lallybroch Social Board

In reply to: Kathy in PA 's message, "I think you both had a moment of grace with the deer. Most animals are smarter and more communicative than we give them credit for - if we just give them a moment. Diana, it is so cool that you have a horse! And I love the name - is Seek a girl or boy? My childhood into tweener was filled with an obsession and love for horses. It was an impossible dream but we did have a riding academy close which was wonderful." on Thu, March 31 2022, 11:13:09

[> [> [> [> Diana, that is so amazing about Seeks and just wonderful that you’ve been able to keep a horse in your life. Does Land Rover look like Phillip Wylie’s beloved pony? They sound so beautiful with flowing black hair. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, April 01 2022, 15:18:49
