Spoiled

I love spoiling my horse. Stink has been in my life for over 13 years and I love spoiling her now as much as I did the day she was born on our farm. I guess you could call her demanding. She definitely has certain expectations when I come to see her: Peppermints, cookies, tummy rub or back rub, and not necessarily in that order. She's totally flexible about the order. :-)

But she's always been so gentle and kind and she looks out for me. I know experts say that animals don't have the capacity to really care, but I beg to differ. This horse cares. And she doesn't just care about me. She's always so careful with new riders, doing her best to insure that they don't fall off and on numerous occasions she's shoved Valiant out from under her feet to keep from stepping on her. She's a marvelous creation and I'm crazy about her. :-)
