Silly title, I know. I had such fun, turning this palomino horse purple while thinking about what a passion some of us have for the presence of a horse in our lives.
I speak as some one who's only spent a few horseless years in her life. No matter what problems come along with horse ownership, I'd rather have one than not.
Stormy came into our lives last summer. She was a rescue horse, saved from the Billings Livestock Market. I found her on Craigs List, and her photo showed her with her head lowered over a child who was painting on her face. The child was turning Stormy into an Indian pony.
Stormy has become such a part of our lives, we can't imagine what it was like, to live without her. I'm learning to teach her tricks. She'll stand still while I walk around her with her bucket of pellets. She drinks water from my hand, and I'm working on other "tricks" as I dream them up and see what kinds of things she's interested in doing.
We built a barn for her, but she chooses to stand out in the storm, no matter how the blizzard rages around her. Her name sure fits her personality!
And in case you're wondering what she looks like....ta da! Here she is! She's our "purple passion" :)
I really can't begin to tell you how glad I am for you that you and Stormy found eachother! A fated match.
