Tango

A late birthday gift today: a horseback ride on Tango, a lovely, lovely Rocky Mountain gelding. Chocolate with a tawny mane and tail. I helped groom him before climbing up into a saddle for the first time since I was a teenager, and wasn't very good at calling the shots at first - kept leaning in the direction I wanted him to turn, like on a bike. But it was quite thrilling. I would show you a picture of me riding him, but I didn't take any of those pictures, so you're stuck with a picture I did take. Brushing a horse is a wonderful experience. Warm and smooth and close to those big, brown eyes. I'm a bit smitten, yes.
