One month

It's been one month since Olive died.

One, long, hard impossibly cruel month.
I miss her so much.
I'm getting through it - going about my life like I always do - because what choice do I have?
Still, I feel like part of me died with her that night.
Fortunately, relief - in the form of a cute palomino mustang geldng - arrives Sunday. 
He's not mine, he's not permanent and he's definitely not Olive.
That's okay. He's Winslow, and for now, that's enough.

  1. No one can take her place. But the undead parts of you :) might still grow. In unexpected directions.

  2. A part of you did die with Olive. So sorry.

  3. I hope Winslow is different enough, and a good horse for you to ride and train in the meantime. Are you looking for an already saddle trained horse for keeps? Another Mustang, or environs immaterial?

    1. My ideal horse is a small, round mare that’s started under saddle but still green. I would be delighted if she’s another mustang, but I’m open to other breeds.

  4. I agree, small round mares are the best. I'm sure you will find your match
