A summer born colt

enjoyed the read

Karen, such a delightful write, I could just visualize every movement and holding my breath that nothing serious happened. This brought back memories of several years ago when my husband was trying his hand at being a gentleman's farmer & when we had a severe icing throughout Virginia & our cattle hadn't drank water in a few days and it was impossible to get to the barn because of the icy conditions. My husband finally thought of taking a hoe and digging his way down to the barn to clear a path for the cattle to get water. My heart ached for him, and as I watched him for hours digging a path to the pond and then watching the frightened cattle trying to walk on the ice. Their legs would spread apart and they would fall to the ground...what an experience. This writing brought back these memories and I'll never forget them.

Enjoyed very much,well done sweet lady,have a wonderful day...Hugsss

thank you for sharing this moment with us! both the written description of the colt on ice and the picture of the colt bounding have delighted me!

This must be an incredible sight to witness. This colt has grown into a beautiful horse, Karen. You must be very proud!
I have always had a love for horses, brings me back to another lifetime when I rode like the wind with freedom and abandon.
Much Peace, Love, and Light,
