A Moment I Almost Missed
I've been walking every morning. So lucky to start my day in one of the most beautiful places I know - my own valley. I really didn't want to go this morning, though, but Ralph, ourbig black lab, was so excited I opened the door and out we went. I was on automatic, slow to wake up. Decided to walk up a side street that I usually skip and a pinto mare began to run right to me. There was something different about her, besides her desire to see me - most horses ignore us (that's me and Ralph). We met at the corral fence. She was eager to be petted or fed or ridden. I didn't do any - she's not my horse - but I did stare. She had the most amazing blue eyes. Stunning. Clear and bright blue. I've never seen a horse with two bright blue eyes before. Look for it in a book. That's where inspiration comes from. Walks you almost didn't take.

Aw shucks hunny, go ahead and pet them! No one would mind a soft little pat!
Blue eyes on horses are a funny thing aren't they? I personally do not like a blue eyed horse. BUT- horses with amber or green eys catch my attention every time.
What? Didn't know horses can have amber or green eyes... just go ahead and ask me why...
:)
So why? And you know I've seen horses with half blues eyes or one blue eye but never with two. And yes, I've started petting them. I figure no one will mind.
