THE man in my life.

My handsome man.

I have been through quite a bit with this guy in the short one and a half years that I have had him....

First there was the overwhelming anticipation and excitement of bringing home what I thought was my perfect match.

Then there was hate. I hated him, he hated me....we didn't understand each other.

Then there was tolerance. We tolerated each other and that worked for a while.

And now.....nothing but LOVE.

I didn't think I would ever get there with this guy. It takes a while to build a relationship with an equine friend, but this journey was exceptionally rough.

I have to give him a special shout out. He is such a good boy now and works so hard for me. He was the ONLY thing during the last couple of months that could lift the heavy weight from my chest. He bore the weight of all of my burdens for the hour or two I would spend with him most days......and he didn't complain or judge or shy away. Many thanks to my gorgeous boy.

(I REALLY need to get some better pictures of him. I don't have any that do him justice!)
