3/ The Horse Thief
In July 2001, less than two months after my daughter Gillian died, my husband was in the ICU and a self-appointed* animal control officer posted an official-looking paper on my barn stating that because of neglect our 12 horses would be seized. I explained my situation and gave her references, but she held firm. Eventually it took only one f-bomb to make her disappear as though in a puff of smoke, never to return.

OMFG!
ReplyDeleteWhat was her problem? Good for you for dropping the f-bomb.
ReplyDeleteGreed.
DeleteLovely photo. Did Gillian ride bareback?
ReplyDeleteNot usually. Most of our horses were Morgans, and Jill and her main show horse, Aurora, won a lot of ribbons, including championships, at Morgan horse shows. If I could figure out a way, I'd post a picture of them going over a fence. But she just had a wonderful relationship with all the horses--and all animals.
DeleteWhat Sabine (and then you) said.
ReplyDeleteOh my! So glad you thwarted the thief. Those two horses look just like two of my Breyer horses that I used to play with as a child.
