I went with Carli, my 13 year old sister, on a hack to finish up her lease with a Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse named Huey. He is a magnificent brown and white paint. I was watching her canter beautifully across the white sand. Then I looked over and saw a magestic bay in the paddock. The minute I saw the gelding, I wanted him. I knew he was the one for me. That Canadian Warmblood never looked me in the eyes, but that didn't keep me from thinking that he was the one.
I continued to stare, looking at his every move, hoping not to miss a thing. Then something broke my gaze. Huey trotted in front of me and reluctantly, my eyes followed. I closed my eyes and shook my head. When I then opened my eyes, I saw the bay rolling around in the sand and I had to giggle a bit. I then saw another horse, a black Fresian that looked better than the bay, but that wouldn't convince me to take him home. I loved the other horse, and I never even met him.
After Carli's hack, we took Huey back to the barn and untacked him. We washed him off and dried him. I occasionally looked over to the bay. Then I finally had the guts to ask Carli,
"Umm, who is that bay over there?" while she was putting away Huey's tack.
"Oh thats Popcorn. We call him 'Pop' for short," she said and slid the saddle onto the stand while I put his bridle on the hook.
"Pop," I said repeating his name. I replayed it over and over into my brain until another question slid off my tongue.
"Who owns him?" I said and looked over at her while I put Huey's dress, no-slip and half pads onto the fence for them to dry.
"Sarah, but she isn't even here. She goes to California for her job and only sees Pop about every five years. He really needs a new owner because if she came here and put aside her job to actually care for Pop, I think Pop would be a little more happy and they would have a better relationship." She said, obviously aggravated.
"New owner you say, well I know someone who is perfect," I said and nodded my head. |

I woke up from a magnificent dream about Pop and a noisy iPod alarm clock. It was playing 'Just Haven't Met You Yet' by Michael Buble. I groaned and turned off the song.
I pushed the covers off and walked zombie-like into my mo ...
