Comfortably Alone
Texas has been confirmed, I overheard my stablemaster talking to the buyer on the phone. I just hope this isn't the scheming child of some child-bearing scheme. I think forced breeding is a bit primitive, even for horses. I've been relatively lucky in that my stable hasnt achieved a level of affluence with which to purchase a breeding partner. I say "relatively" lucky because it also means I had been until now sentenced to a morally correct but nonetheless scathing loneliness. There were *no* other horses at my stable. Maybe Texas will be different. Self-delusion is a powerful tool though, and I've exploited it thus far to escape the inevitable conclusion that all successful show horses usually end up in a forced breeding situation. I can only assume the worst... for Texas.
