Gone a week. Return late. Dark.
I can't wait for morning. I hike out into the pasture, feeling my way by my feet, listening for the herd.
I can barely make out outlines of dark furry bodies around the hay feeder. They probably cock an ear hearing my voice, but they keep eating.
All but one.
A white blaze glowing by faint starlight appears out of the blackness.
My horse has stopped his eating to come up to me, for hugs, smooches and scratches.
Stormy loves me. I have been missed : )
(Pictures are from this evening... Stormy is still following me around : )
What a Thoroughbred!
ReplyDeleteNice welcome!
ReplyDeleteI always check my horses first thing too when I've been away. I love to hear their "horse talk" when they see me.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be the sweetest thing ever! What a gorgeous horse!
ReplyDeleteAw-w-w-w. Nothing like a horse's love to make you feel special and the entire day worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be loved and missed by your horse.
ReplyDeleteWhat Nina said. ♥
