My Horsey Future

If things go the way I hope they do, this will be Craig and me at our nursing home in the distant future.

After all, I DO have experience with "indoor horses." When I was seventeen and home alone, I brought my horse, Pokey, up the steps, onto the porch, through the back door, and into the house. 

Amy and Pokey, 1974

Why did I bring Pokey into the house? I still have no idea. But I'll own it - I did bring a horse into the house when I was old enough to know better. (And now, as an adult, when I ask a student why he or she did something and they reply, "I don't know!" there's a part of me that goes, "Yeah, sweetie, I get it.")

I hope I always have horses in my life, indoor or out!
