Pony My Heart

Today Saki is the star.

He was standing inside the barn and I was standing outside, maybe 10 inches below. Add to that a head toss and an outstretched arm holding the camera way up high and the end result is an interesting perspective.

And then he humored me with a nose pose.

But this one, the one that appeared on Facebook today, is my favorite. Something soft, trusting. Years and years of knowing one another. This is the pony that holds my heart.

    I know what you mean, Michelle. Just got to love ’em while you can. That’s the reason I began this series, these guys are getting old and I wanted to open myself up instead of closing my heart off to the inevitable.
