monday musings by shyloh #46

The countdown begins to the day that this happened:

Stepping off the trailer to my new home!

and I came home for good. I have to say, it was a good day, although I did not know it at the time. I did not know a lot of things then:

• I did not know then that I would be loved so much by Allie. She was kinda annoying, still can be. . .
• I did not know then that I would have my own section of this blog, which I take full advantage of.
• I did not know then that no one was going to hurt me.
• I did not know then that people could be so nice! All of the barn people are great!
• I did not know then that I would be learning tricks, thus making me the cutest horse in the barn.
• I did not know then what treats were! Apples and carrots and bananas, oh my!
• I did not know then that I would be Shyloh, Haflinger extraordinaire. 
• I did not know then that I would meet some great horsey friends that didn't want to eat my mane.
• I did not know then that I would be learning dressage. Or how to drive.
• I did not know then that not everything is out to eat me.
• I did not know then that I would have my very own stall!
• I did not know then that I would be traveling to shows with other horses like me!
• I did not know then that I would get to eat delicious grass.
• I did not know then what legs meant during riding.
• I did not know then that I would be ridden so much, and be so excepting of a rider.
• I did not know then that I would be such a happy horse.

First days are always scary!

Because I am a happy horse. I have everything I need, even if it is not everything I want. I have morphed into a sassy, beautiful, good Haflinger.  July 22nd marks the day. That day is also going to be my birthday. I will be six. Please send your presents of hay, fruit, and treats to Moonlyte Equestrian Center, last stall on the left. I'll be waiting for them!
