We’d be grateful for a kind winter.
If that works out, maybe a sweet
season of green grass, probably
not more. This old gelding’s
back is a full hand lower than
his withers, not that he was ever
tall. His knees bent, disfigured
with arthritis. One of his shrunken
eyes has clouded over. He’s done
nothing wrong; just an old hay
burner. In his day, did he have a
young girl? He’s anxious now; too
many changes, too close together.
Settle, old man. Let’s stretch our
time here long, and call it home.
Planning our 2019 clinic schedule now.

Thank you, Margaret.
Very nice….I’ve got a 32 yo mare who resembles this and who is hoping for it too!!! Hope weather is nice to both of them!
Amen, Suzanne… just another summer. Thanks for commenting and keeping a space.
Beautiful. Is he your new addition?
Right now, it’s him and a donkey… fostered for the rescue I work with. Always nice to share a home. Thanks, Cyndi.
A gentle winter wish headed your way…Turkey for the carnivores this holiday season!
Thanks, Lynell, and every good wish returned.
ah yes. winter. a time of uncertainty for the oldies. he looks a beautiful soul.
He is, he reminds me of every old gelding I’ve ever known… stoic and kind. Good winter to your herd, too, Chris.
I will send you an Arizona winter. He is truly lovely.
Thanks so much, we all appreciate it, Christy.
What a beauty he is… happy he is home with you…
I promised to never photograph his full body… but he’s a beauty to me. Thanks.
He sure is.
I’m an anti-slaughter advocate. I keep my horses for their forevers; and this touched my heart!!
Thank you for your blog.

I’m fostering him for a local rescue… but I keep mine too. Thanks, Judy.
He is beautiful. Thank you for being there for him.
Well, this is his good side… but thanks, Celeste.
A beautiful and sweet old man. He’s in good hands now. Wishing you and your critter family a Very Happy Thanksgiving. =-)
Thanks, Deb, and best holiday wishes back.
Right now my oldest is only 24. But I have been the end home for many. I live in California so winters are pretty doable. I cherish my time with elders they are simply the best.
Agreed. This guy is slow to warm up but we have all the time we need. Have a great Thanksgiving, Tracie.
