great special on the Dancing Stallions tonight. I love to watch those mothers jump.<\/p>\n
Dad did too. He had seen specials but he had wanted to see them in person- he got news of them being at some Chicago venue or another but when he arrived he found he was a day late. Less than a year later he was dead. <\/p>\n
Watching this, I wish he could have seen it. There is something about people who tend horses, and really care for them, that Dad would have liked a good deal. <\/p>\n
Dad was born to tend horses, and we spent a lot of my youth helping people with them, but I don’t know shit about them. I know that it made dad sick to see people treat horses like cats- play withthem when convenient, and ignore them until you were interested in playing again. I saw things people allowed to happen to horses that were frankly miserable, and it destroyed my faith in humanity as a whole- and even now, I only have any faith in the very few people who have proven themselves to be trustworthy, and there are just a few of them. <\/p>\n
Yes, I realise the people who watch over these magnificent horses are paid well to do so, but you can’t have a job like that without love for what you do, and it shows. <\/p>\n
G-d bless anyone who holds the life of an animal in high regard, and acts as a faithful steward to that animal’s life. I hope Dad can see this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
