Awareness of the outside world. Lawyer, Guns, Money: Collective trauma response, Campos, September 24, 2023.

Last weekend we had plans to meet with people to talk about possible horses, as IRL follow-ups to earlier conversations. Preliminary discussions rather than trying out horses, but progress. [Small Steps in the Horse Search]
Alas, plans fell thru.
I bring up this non-event because got me thinking about probabilities. One of the horses for sale was a mare. The other was a handful of Warmbloods. These are two groups that are statistically unlikely to contain my next horse.
A good horse is any color or any breed. Absolutely.
OTOH, we can’t ignore 45 years of history. These are two types of horses I do not automatically bond with. I have mentioned this. [Mares and Me, Not So Much] & [Get Off My Lawn, And Take Your Warmblood With You]
I don’t see it happening.
Of course, I will pursue. I hope to get back with these people. I am not averse to being surprised by a mare or a Warmblood. New Horse doesn’t have to be a Thoroughbred.
Could be a could be Saddlebred. [Another Class For My Imaginary Horse]
Or maybe a Welsh Cob. [Update]
Particularly if horse will be doing dual duty as a driving horse.
Yes. Yes. We all know New Horse is going to be a bay, TB gelding. Allow me my illusions.

That’s why I was so surprised when you got Milton.
P.S. I keep forgetting to let you know it’s me. DER
Sometimes you are given what you need but not what you thought you wanted.
OTOH, 45 years is a considerable track record.
