Ok so now I'm crying 😢
Cherish the Small Moments with Your Horse
"What if we asked the old horse in Heaven about the best moments of his life? Do you think he would talk about the ribbons he won or the points he earned? No.
He would talk about the hours you spent grazing him and playing with his mane.
He would talk about your kind hands.
He would talk about the sound of your car when you pulled up to the barn, knowing you had a bag of carrots for him. He would talk about the laughter of the child who trotted for the first time on him.
He would talk about how their little hands gave such gentle pets on his nose. He would talk about the times you came out in the middle of a snow storm to make sure he was okay.
He would talk about the time you stayed up all night with him when he was sick and scared and confused.
He would talk about the times you cried on his shoulder, and while he didn’t know why, he understood.
He would talk about galloping through green pastures and playing with his friends.
He would talk about naps in the sun.
And finally, he would talk about when he was hurting so much in this earthly existence, you set him free.
He knows the decision literally broke your heart in half, but his pain was over and he will greet you again when it is time.
Cherish the small moments with your horses. They are what he remembers."
