I was born loving horses.
In my lifetime I was blessed by having that love returned by several special
horses, but my true soulmate was a little blood bay app no one wanted - his
name was Dominion Flyer.
The first time I set eyes on him, something special happened. It was
years before we were to be together. Once he came to me in 1981, I promised
him he would never have to worry about a home, he was home at long last.
Our life together was by no means perfect. That little guy had a sense of
humor that at times I didn't understand. We had our blowups. My husband told
me the problem with that horse and I, we were too much alike, you see neither
of us was willing to fully trust.
As the years went on, it became apparent we did have that very special
bond that some dream of, few experience. It only happened because neither
of us was willing to give up on the other.
The day he passed, a part of me died with him. He tried so hard to hang on,
with me telling him we will be together again. I have learned that he still
walks with me, I will keep him alive in my heart for all the days I have
left, then when it is my time, I will leave this earth on a little blood
bay no one wanted.
