More beautiful than Dean on a big black horse, cantering through a field? No... nothing, far as I can tell.

I took Melon from a couple of horses I know, who are sweet and funny and adorable. One of them, Boxcar, is the horse I cantered on with no stirrups two weeks ago. Damn, that was fun.

Oh, Winchester sounds cool. He's the one that looks like Shadowfax, right?

I decided to base Dean on my mom, if that makes sense. She's been in love with horses for as long as she can recall, but was never able to really be with them until she was grown. So now she's making up for lost time, and I've realized that I'm not just a _horse_-fool; I'm an animal-fool. I love 'em all. So, I guess Dean is a mixture of Mom and me. (That sounds kind of odd, don't it?)

And Sam is my little sister. She's not really _afraid_ of horses, as such, but they're just so _big_, you know? Which I don't understand. Because she _has_ cantered, and she can just give it up without a fight... totally beyond my comprehension.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad this story seems _real_.

Ah yes, Winchester is the giant grey horse that looks like Shadowfax. He's totally gay, I'm sure of it. This one time he was crowding up on me when I was leading him, which I abhor because I've been run down too many times to just let a horse into my personal space. So, I tapped him on the shoulder and told him to move over, and picked up his foot in this big animated motion and stretched it out toward me as though he was doing a Spanish walk. I could just hear him thinking, "Bitch, don't you tap me on the shoulder or I'm soo gonna put the smack down on you, meooowww!" I seriously considered getting him some red hoof polish.

Oh God, he's a riot.

Thanks for this.

Tracy
