Pistol came along while I was
searching for my next horse after selling my gelding, "Sunday." He is the
type of horse I've always dreamed of owning! I bought him in November of
2005 when he was only two years old. He has been such a complete joy to
work with, I have truly been spoiled by him. Pisol is very laid back,
inquisitive and kind. We had a set back in 2006 when he needed the summer
off after straining his suspensory ligaments. Now Pistol's back in action
and we have much more work to do. I plan to compete in barrel futurities
with Pistol his five year old year. I'm looking
forward to a bright future with him!
When your day seems out of balance
And so many things go wrong...
When people fight around you
And the day drags on too long...
When the grown-ups act like children,
And you're off your spiritual course
Go out into the pasture...
And wrap your arms around your horse.
His gentle breath enfolds you,
and he watches with those eyes...
He may not have a Ph.D.,
But he is, oh so wise!
His head rests on your shoulder.
You embrace and feel his might.
He puts your world in balance,
And makes it seem all right.
Your tears they soon stop flowing.
The tension is now eased.
The garbage has been lifted,
And you're quiet and at peace.
So when you need the balance
From circumstances in your day...
The best therapy that you can seek...
Is out there eating hay!!
