Tatiana

I sat talking to some folks
at the ranch, i looked up
and my eyes blinked. The
most beautiful blackest of
black Friesian horse came
in with her tall blond owner.
I was introduced, but my eye
was still on that magnificent
beauty. I started asking about
the horse, her training and
so forth. The owner asked
if i would like to ride her,
i was already there running
my hands over this seventeen
hand, seven year old horse. The
stirrups of the saddle were up
just below my chest. My
thoughts were, how do i get
up there. She told me the
men had to do it. I got a
two hands up and got astride
the horse. This was a bucket
list moment for me. We
started off and it was the most
powerful animal i had ever rode.
I could feel the strength as we
walked away. Her manners were
meticulous, the slightest command
i gave her was returned, to my delight.
I started trotting her, it was a solid hard
trot. Her girth was so wide i couldn't
step down in the stirrups, i just went into
a faster mode not caring a bit. When
i finished or should say thought i should
give her back i went back and slid off
the saddle. With a wide grin on my
face i was ecstatic then said thank you
to this beauty named Tatiana!
