Looking for Ms. Right

Could this be her?I've always dreamed of owning a horse. When I was younger, the horse lust was all consuming. I lived, breathed and dreamed horses. I went to a college with an Equine Science program, and I worked at stables, guest ranches and tack shops. I simply couldn't bear the thought of life without (real) horses. And then... I got older and my life became crowded with grown up responsibilities. I never stopped wanting the horse, but the wanting lost its urgency. Time, money and energy were on short supply. I filled the void with semi-regular rides on borrowed horses, hanging out with horsey friends and, of course, my models. And for a time, that was enough. Lately, however, that's been changing. The wanting has returned and it's returned with a vengeance. While I would absolutely love to go out and buy myself a horse, I know that's not the best thing. There are still time/money/energy issues. What I really need is half a horse... Which brings us back to this girl. This is Bobbie. She is stabled just five miles from my house and her owner is looking for someone to half lease her. The price is surprisingly affordable and so far everything seems like a good fit. I would have three days of riding a week plus unlimited carrot/grooming visits. The stable has both indoor and outdoor rings plus access to twenty five miles of trails. It all just sounds perfect.Wish me luck! I should know one way or the other this weekend!
