Happy horsey thread

[Downthestretch55]

This is a great thread.
I just thought I'd share something nice that happened today.
I went to the farm to play with my mares, yearlings and fillies. They're doing beautifully.
Well, an elderly lady was there. Her name is Betty.
We talked for a while and she said she'd like to ride. So, I got Sweet Harmony, a quarter horse mare, from her stall, brushed her clean, tacked her up. Betty had ridden for many years and seemd very keen on getting on a horse again. So, I led Harmony out to the mounting block as Betty followed.
She climbed up and managed to throw her leg over and into the iron.
We walked around the training ring about ten times, while I held the lead.
Sweet Harmony was a "good girl".
My real thrill was seeing the smile on Betty's face. She was just so happy to be on a horse!
Betty is 85 years old. I'm guessing that horses keep you feeling "young".
Yup, 85 years old...still riding.
