But horses can be persistent in their ability to worm their way into your heart, and what a great thing to love a horse. Glad you are bonding with Courage.Kitty Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320015015309570032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-39940910512578619142014-07-16T18:19:07.509-06:002014-07-16T18:19:07.509-06:00Aww..

I never intended to keep her. I hated her for the first two weeks that I had her. I couldn't let Gogo's memory go. But slowly, over time, she inched her way into my heart and now she is all I can think about.

Jack and Spots are always in Spider's shadow, no matter how hard I try to not play favorites. But, like you and Courage, as I have spent more and more time with Jack and Spots we have started to bond and they're showing me more and more of their personalities. Spider will always be the yardstick I use to measure a horse, but Jack and Spots are starting to catch up.

I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to get attached too quickly, but I'm glad you guys are really becoming a team and figuring each other out. I also think his name, Courage, is ironic yet appropriate: he himself has a lot of courage, and also was able to give you courage to keep pushing through the tough stuff. You and your little man are a wonderful story, and will go really far together <3Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297192461648201907noreply@blogger.com
