The Christmas Gift- A Holiday Horse Story
December 19, 2013
The holiday season is a time for giving. Karen Prell shares a story of a friend who helps another keep her horses in a time of need.
by Karen Prell

She had driven this road a thousand times, but this time was going to be different. This time it would be the last time she drove this way, the last time she would travel this road. It all seemed so unreal–– like a bad dream from which she would soon have to wake up. But no, this was real.

She was in her late 50's and skating quickly towards her 60's. According to her well meaning sisters, it was "time she thought about doing something different" and "sizing down" her responsibilities as it related to all things "equine." She'd been a horsewoman for most of those 50 odd years; just what did they think she would do with her time? Go shopping?
"And Allah took a handful of southerly wind, blew His breath upon it, and created the horse.... Thou shall fly without wings, and conquer without any sword. Oh, horse" - old Bedouin saying.
