Hours and horseflesh

Apr 27, 2010 23:08

I dragged myself into work today more out of stubbornness and cabin fever than anything else, but then I got myself to the stables for some much-missed equine communion.

( A little about work, but mostly the horses. Warning: it gets a bit slashy towards the end. )

I think of you often in these quiet moments of peace and love and happiness.

So I stood in close and murmured quiet nothings to a couple of horses waiting for a lesson, and scritched until heads, ears, and eyelids lowered. At one beautifully quiet moment I stood with my hand pressed gently but firmly to Pedro's face and just breathed with him. He stepped in closer to me and tucked his nose into my chest; he didn't lean, or shove, or scratch, he just shared a moment with someone safe. Magic.

This made me tear up
:D

I love your posts about the horses. Heart-quiet is lovely to see, and you deserve it so much.
