Literal Dream Horse

April 17, 2023

HAAAAAA, my brain is so mean.

So last night I dreamed I got a horse. In the dream, because I'm working as a riding instructor, they gave me a dope-ass deal on the horse himself and board, so good it'd be absolutely insane not to take it.

So take it I did! So in the dream I end up with this lovely little grey horse called Hish, who's also a broke as hell lesson horse. And I'm tooling along with him, getting to know him, riding him, taking care of him, dealing with dumb things happening around the barn, and just starting to realize how absurdly lovely this little gelding is.

And just as I'm really falling in love with this little horse...I wake up.

WELP.

Also, most of the dream was pretty plausible, worked him during a lesson with two younger students who were having trouble managing their horses, dealt with an issue where a bunch of horses were tied and one little shit kept going out of his way to kick literally anyone he possibly could, and we didn't really have a better place to put him, even though he obviously couldn't stay there, and still needed everyone tied, and it was just one of those "well, fuck," times.

BUT ALSO, because the ridiculously cheap board I was getting happened to be a stall and also we didn't have turnout, we gave the horses books so they wouldn't be too bored.

BOOKS. SO THEY WOULDN'T BE BORED.

I appreciate that my sleeping mind still recognized our value that horses should be kept in turnout, preferably pasture, with others whenever possible...but chaos, was my sleeping brain's solution adorable.
