You remember the day you typed in the details of your perfect dream horse on dreamhorse.com and only one horse popped up.
And he was in your price range.
And he was in your state.
And he was in a nearby town.
And his trainer said come on over and meet him and ride him. His owner is only selling to the exact right person so there’s no pressure on you to purchase.
And you get there and meet him and he is a dream come true before you even help tack him up.
And the trainer shows him off for you and you say you can’t ride him - you aren’t advanced enough.
And she talks you into it.
And you look better on him than you ever have in your entire riding life.
And his x-rays are so good the vet takes them to his vet school mentor to make sure he isn’t missing anything.
And somehow, this amazing horse comes to live with you.
And 15 years later he is still amazing, still sound, and the best horse in the whole world.
Happy birthday, Keil Bay. You are THE KING. Thanks for putting up with me all these wonderful years!
