[RC] Horses and Marriage - Mickey WomackOn the subject of
horses and marriage................
I rode horses all
the time growing up and always dreamed of having my own horse. Of course,
life gets in the way and throughout college and getting a full time job my dream
slowly got hidden behind "life".
My husband and I met
and the 'horse' subject never came up.............buried too deep in my heart at
that time.
About eight years
into our marriage my husband went to a business conference and it happened to be
at a Dude ranch. The conference attendees got to go on a horse ride -
one of those nose to nose walking adventures (tee hee hee). He called me
that night (Thursday) to tell me he really enjoyed being around the horses and
we should think about going horseback riding some time.
Immediately the
dream surged back to the surface and Friday morning I called everywhere trying
to get lessons set-up. When I picked him up at the airport Friday night I
summarily explained that "it was all his fault" and we would be starting riding
lessons in the morning (tee hee hee).
We haven't stopped
since, and now all of our free time and vacation is centered around
horses.
I guess I have to
keep him now (tee hee hee).
