Special and the Stud
It might have been cold, but it was winter, and I am pretty sure it was 1970, but I can't be sure about any of it. I do remember that there was supposed to be a lunar eclipse at that time, but my memory is not clear on that point. Several horses traveled maybe south west through the Minnesota woods, for hours to reach that destination.
Special was, of course, Special Discount, a quarter horse mare, an incredible animal who would go on to compete in barrel races, in a future I did not see. A wonderful and amazing quarter horse, who could go almost any where, and through anything, and also go quite fast.
How well do I remember that day or those days? I know there were trees and I know there was snow. And I have to quests that somewhere along that line there was ice. But I can't remember the other horses then or if I was alone or if there were others. I guess that time is a bit of a blur for me, today.
Yet, for all that, it does seem so real.
