One thing many people don't kn...Thanks, Vella. One thing many people don't know is the ability of these animals to express love. Belle Amie was a beautiful Morgan cross and my first horse. There were times I didn't have time to ride, but it was still so calming to come home and just brush and talk to my girl. All the stresses of running a business would melt away. We would "talk" and I swear, she loved the hugs on her neck. On the trail, that horse always took care of me.<br /> One day it was necessary to sell her. I found a wonderful home to a teenage girl taking riding lessons. I gave Belle a last long tearful hug and she trustingly loaded up to go. When the horse trailer pulled out with Belle in it, she stuck her head out, looking at me she whinnied the whole way out of our long driveway. To this day, if I allow myself to remember those last moments, my heart hurts.

Even though some tragedy was involved, I still think you were mighty lucky to have these horses. Being a city raised girl, my sister and I never got the horse we asked for. You were quite the lucky girl to have those memories.<br />When I heard the news about American Pharaoh winning the triple crown, I was filled with joy. It's been such a long time since we've had a Triple Crown winner. <br />This was a wonderful blog to start off your Prairie Rose Blogs. I look forward to your contribution next month. Sarah J.
