Living In An Alternate Past

I’m starting to share in Rodney’s delusions.

He thinks he is a fancy, retired, champion show horse. He likes to rest on the laurels of his past greatness. “As far as Rodney is concerned, he could’ve had a glorious show career. Therefore, he did have a glorious show career.” [Imagining Rodney]

In reality, not so much. [Rodney Lives With His Life Choices]

However.

Our most recent ride was months ago. Time passes. Memories fade. He’s a good-looking horse. He moves beautifully. I imagine how much he could have done. How much we could have done together.

Maybe somewhere, in some alternate universe, we did.

Like I said, delusions.

Onwards!

  1. In an alternate universe, my back held up, and I took Chief to one of those beaches where you can ride along the shore. He would have loved that.
