Wow, a horse! How exciting! Congratulations, to you and Legs both! Where will she stay?
Not upstairs -- that's the guest room! She'll be fambly!
She's staying at a place called Spiritwood, about a mile past the intersection of Parmer and 1431. She'll have other horses to cavort with, and good care. If I get my nerve up, I may even ride her again! (She said, carefully not looking at the scar on her shoulder.)
Big thing, getting a horse. It's nice that it's a horse you know well, from someone who will be glad to lend a helping hand indefinitely ... That's gotta take some of the panic out!
Will she remain Legs, or has she revealed another name to you?
I was horse-crazy as a kid, too, and we couldn't afford riding lessons (or my sensible dentist father had no intention of starting that habit in me.) So I never rode -- I wanted lessons, to learn how to do it correctly and safely. I knew experienced people who got hurt riding ... in fact, pretty much everyone I know who has owned horses or ridden extensively has been seriously injured on a horse. So I did very little screwing around on horses.
