IN my heart of hearts, i've been wishing that i had a horse to ride on the ranch refuge.

i've been given a red sorrel gelding that is gentle beyond belief. tack, feed and all. there is a beautiful corral right by the ranchhouse where he will hang out and eat. he'll be the only horse there and i hope the donkeys will be nice to him. i may get him a goat for a companion.

we're going to pick up the tack on Wednesday and move him. the other horses that were there are moving to a training facility in stillwater, oklahoma.

to say that i am stunned is a huge understatement. i've truly come full circle. and if one of those damned camels comes up to me, while i'm riding, i'll freak. i'm hoping that a horse can out run a camel...in a pasture. i worry in sand..but surely in a pasture!
