Horses are my life.
I'm an Equine Science student at a smaller university in West Texas. I own an amazing 3 yr old Quarter Horse named Bonnie.
I've created this blog to tell the stories of my experiences here in the high Chihuahuan desert.
The story behind the title?
Well, it involves Bella the Clydesdale & her extreme dislike of raindrops. The other morning, I had turned Bella out to graze while we were finishing morning chores. I left the barn door open, so she could return to her stall whenever she felt the need to do so. I was busy cleaning the broodmares' stalls, and suddenly all hell broke loose. I heard rain on the roof, stallions whinnying, and the sound of a 1,600 pound Clydesdale galloping through the barn. I hurried over to Bella's stall, and sure enough, she was in there. She was milling about, wide-eyed, with an extremely worried expression on her face. I gave her some reassuring pats, and found a few small flecks of moisture on her back- the remnants of raindrops. After a few minutes, she settled & all was well in the barn. I learned my lesson - don't turn Bella out when there's a chance of rain.
