In which I go to Texas for a library thing and find horses
I'm not in Texas for a "horse thing."

| Seeing this guy ride through Fort Worth reminded me of the time lytha rode Baasha in downtown Seattle. |
A few days ago, after 48 hours away from my Dragon, I was getting desperate for an infusion of horse spit. You know how that goes, right?
So when I saw this fellow on a grey Arab gelding strolling down the road, I ran out and asked to pet the good creature.
This kind fellow (are all Texans incredibly kind? In my experience: yes!) told me, "Well, the liv'ry is just down here. Y'all follow me, I'll show you."
And he turned down an alley, led me past a horse trailer rig, and into:
The livery.
In the city.

| Clydesdale spit. Yay! |
It's nearly midnight here in Texas, and I still have more conference sessions to attend in the morning, so I'll leave you tonight with these photos, and a little teaser:

| We have spit too, ya know! |
I got to see other Texas horses, too!
It's good, y'all. It's real good.
Yay Texas :)

ReplyDeleteIt's like listening to a woman who wears a size 2 complain about her enormous thighs.
On the other hand, you are very generous with your horse spit and continually share with the less fortunate, so I will dig deep in my horseless heart and find the strength not to roll my eyes at you :)
Holy huge horse!! :)
ReplyDelete@becky - no kidding. i just needed to TOUCH a horse so badly recently. a donkey is a walking braying carpet, not even close.
