Worth It

I couldn't have said it better:

A soft nicker or a demanding whinny.
An ear scratch or a belly rub.
Greeting me at the gate or patiently waiting by the door.

I know when I get home tonight, Bo will be at the gate with a whinny welcoming me home (it's the same thing Sam used to do). When I start chores, Queen will let out a whinny and that'll set off Babe and Thor. I bet I'll even get a nicker out of Rabbit. If I play my cards right, I might even get a little whinny out of Skippy!


Those prescious moments are what makes it all worth it.

I'm not assured a place in Heaven. I don't do what I do to show off. I don't do it for anyone but the horses because they are the ones that matter and make every second worth it.
