:) The reason why I do all this...

Last night, when I went out to put the horses in, the buckets in the stalls were running low. So I cleaned them and ran the hose to fill them. While I was twiddling my thumbs, I got the curry brush out and started trying to take a layer of two of hair off from Tommy. He REALLY likes to have his chest brushed. So much that, when I was done with the water and was turning to leave, he leaves his food to come to me and nudge the brush with his nose so I will continue brushing on his chest. I had the biggest, goofiest smile on my face. This is the horse that was starved and neglected and he paid me the biggest compliment in my life. He leaves his food... this is what makes it all worth while....
