his family raised arabians. he said they had a rep as the craziest breed. no idea if that’s true.
he moved to tx after the divorce for several reasons, but having horses again was 1 of them. our daughter adored them. even after 1 had a freak out and kicked her in the head.

used to ride when i was younger, til i had 1 decide it was time to go back to the barn and toss me on my ass. big tall horse. i wasnt rly hurt, but it was too close of a call for me. hung up my riding boots.
