Beautiful story Lynne. A broken heart can only come after intense and uncompromising love of someone or something. Your reference to Charlie pulled things together for me personally. Keeping the horse was an imperative (you really had us going there for a while !). Nice ending.
Another story masterfully told - weaving metaphor and pathos in a sublime tango so typical of your style, keeping me in suspense to the very end!
I think your horse may need a name so we can keep checking in on her / him - but in the meantime, I thought you may want to read her/ him this remarkable true story of another horse who survived a crash landing and went on to a glorious after life! https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/features/federico-fernandez-showjumper-721132
What a beautiful, visual reminder of the beauty that can come in and from brokenness. Leaving your stunning horse broken, not once but twice, shows the beauty in the imperfections we all have. Thank you for this heartfelt reflection, Lynne.
To learn to live with all our imperfections, our flaws and our brokenness is an accomplishment. To be able to see the beauty in our own vulnerabilities, as well as others, is is a triumph and a joy.
What a great story. I especially love the following:
" I think you always have to believe the best is yet to come."
Believeing that the best is ahead keeps the perspective forward and the spirit alive.
Thank you for sharing.
I am keeping the horse in a safe place. Isn't that interesting that Charley pulled it together for you.
Another wonderful piece - masterfully written. Bravissima Lynne!
Such a beautiful story and written so well, once again. Just great Lynne! THANK YOU!!!!

Murano is a special place on earth. Your reflection of your broken horse as is , even more special.
Yes, Murano is so very special and with the broken horse on my desk, I have a glimpse of it everyday!
From where I stand, you remain humanly perfect forever.
