My Arabians are not crazy!



I have heard it said that Arabians are crazy and difficult to manage, but I suspect the people who say those things do not posess the sensitivity required to manage a horse with a heart the size of the universe!  The 4th of July weekend brought personal trials rather than celebration, but as always, magic happens!  The older mares and one gelding were in a different pen so that they could graze on the field grass, and the Arabians were in their normal corral.  At approx 2200 the fireworks went off,
it was so loud, it was like we were being bombed from all sides!  Flashes and booms almost constantly arching over our house and pasture.  After the initial shock, I stood in the middle of the driveway just marveling at the horses.  The "broke" "seasoned" saddle horses were running round and round their corral, I stood there talking to them when I noticed what Buffy and Hawk were doing.  Those two were standing there calmly WATCHING!!!! it was so amazing! these are not crazy, flighty horses!  They were observant and curious!  After a while the noise ceased, and the light show disappeared.  Then we were treated to the most beautiful moon rise....Perhaps a gift, or a sign of hope of good things to come!
