dreaming of aces.

[shepaintsdreams]

i'm riding a horse at the barn where i used to keep Ace. this horse goes out in the same field as ace did, is in the stall next to ace's stall, speeds up in the same part of the ring that ace used to speed up in. she slows down in the same corner that ace used to slow down in (ace's version of slow is probably another horse's version of taking off). i know that he only lives an hour or two away, that i had to sell him, i didn't have any other choice. he's happy now. the girl who bought him is in love with him. everybody wins in this situation.

my mom came out to watch me ride tonight and i asked her what she thought, how i looked, how the horse looked. she paused then said:

you and ace were such a team. it's going to take time to get used to seeing you on another horse.

i really miss my horse.
