Your son's horses would certainly qualify since you trusted them to carry your most precious cargo.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-10941467388866103032013-05-24T16:17:14.164-07:002013-05-24T16:17:14.164-07:00Val--Burt was the first horse I kept until he died...Val--Burt was the first horse I kept until he died. He was five when I bought him and he died at 35, so I owned him for thirty years. I'm never quite sure about the term "heart horse." I've had five horses in my life that have been "my" horses. I guess that means they each had a piece of my heart. So yeah, in that sense Burt was my first heart horse. And then I've had two horses that came to me for my son. So seven heart horses in all. Three are dead (and buried here) and the other four are still with me and will be with me until they die. And if I die first they are provided for.) I guess that's what heart horse means.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-86115345179011163312013-05-24T08:05:04.332-07:002013-05-24T08:05:04.332-07:00These stories are a wonderful treat, Laura.

At least it is a minor vice. <br />:-)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-88332820489093680562013-05-23T07:45:35.653-07:002013-05-23T07:45:35.653-07:00Thanks, L Williams...coming soon.Thanks, L Williams...coming soon.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-52148849517434003212013-05-22T21:16:10.438-07:002013-05-22T21:16:10.438-07:00Looking forward to the rest of the story!Looking forward to the rest of the story!L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-71494410673366434272013-05-22T07:43:56.835-07:002013-05-22T07:43:56.835-07:00Dom--You and I are very often on the same page (!)...Dom--You and I are very often on the same page (!) Cause yeah, jigging probably annoys me more than any other riding horse habit, too. And I absolutely COULD NOT cure Burt of doing this. After I retired him, I swore I would never own another chronic jigger. However, I did keep Burt until he died...he was a fine horse in every other way and very good hearted.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-27134989851819179342013-05-22T07:36:05.974-07:002013-05-22T07:36:05.974-07:00Despite the jigging, which probably annoys me more...Despite the jigging, which probably annoys me more than any other riding horse habit, Burt sounds like an absolute dream <3Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.com
