This is a story blog of the four leggers that live on Horse Tail Acres. Hear it from the four leggers I am an artist and owner of the characters.

They are real animals that live here on Horse Tail Acres. I write about them as if they are telling the story of life on the farm. The many adventures of animals, their communication and how they may see life. Each character either lives or has lived here. They are my inspiration for my art. My drawings and my painting.

The other night as I laid in my stall to rest my old body, my hips where hurting so bad since the nights where getting colder. There was a mist in the air and in the mist I heard a familiar nicker in the distance. One I had not heard in years.
I raised my head to look around and seen a shadow walking up to me. I couldn’t make out what or who it was. My eye was wide open (because I can only see out of one eye), this shadow took on the appearance of another horse. Not one that is here with me, but a very distinct stroll of a strut that I once knew. Could it be?
I laid there and wondered as the shadow approached me closer and closer. Then, I heard her. Her voice I knew. I was so excited to hear her. My friend. My friend is back! Cooper.
She came to me and nuzzled my mane. Her breath was sweet as fresh grass. She was so beautiful and shining like the stars in heaven.
I had the strangest feeling come over me. I felt alive. Strong. No pain anywhere in my body. I got up and began to walk with her. Our hearts where one again. Our friendship was alive. Again.

As we strolled together I took a glance behind me. To looked for Wendy, Job & Ella. I seen them looking down at an old mare laying in the stall and wondered who that was. Copper told me, “we’re going home my friend. That just the old husk we leave behind.” I realized it was me. My old body.

I let out a last nicker to Wendy, Job & Ella. To tell them goodbye, and to tell Yellow Hair goodbye for me. I don’t know if they heard me or not. Copper threw her head back, her long mane and swishy tail had this beautiful glitter flicker everywhere around her and she said “let’s go my friend, they will understand someday and Yellow hair will understand too. Let’s fly we have green pastures to graze for ever & I can’t hardly wait for you to see all the beauty. You will never hurt again. You will never grow old.”

All of a sudden these beautiful big wings appeared on my sides. Then Copper raised her head back and her wings came out and we flew over the Old Oak and then a beautiful rainbow appeared and we flew over and beyond, we was gone.

Goodby my friends.

It’s been a rough month. actually a rough two years for me. But here I am. Living my best with my friends. Maybe another year I can enjoy the pasture with my friends. My old friend Copper still meets with me late at night. I can feel her presence when her swishy tail gently tickles over my old hips when she’s there. I am stalled at night because I can’t see to good and I only have one eye. Wendy the paint, Ella the yellow and Job the Appaloosa sit with me in the barn. They take turns. It’s nice to have a friend. I have a small area I can walk out at night and feel the evening and see the stars. I’m thankful. Yellow hair has brought another dark hair woman to the barn who knows a lot of my pains and aches. She helps me to feel better. I like her.

As I have stood in my stall night after night watching my friends out and gathering under the old Oak, I asked the Great One for a speeding healing. I’m doing good. I’m trying my best to be patient. But I’m lonely.
Yellow hair visits a few times a day. Brushing my coat. Talking to me. Whispering in my ear “your doing fine “Be patient. She even gives me extra oats oh I love her. But when the light goes down, I get lonely.

I heard Yellow hair pray to the Great One for me. She even asked to send me a comfort friend to stay with me.
I have Wendy and Job and Ella. But they go out and graze. And they need to. The squirrels visit. But they fuss too much. They annoy me.
I suppose I am growing old. But I want to live. I want to graze in the moonlight. I want to go to my tree. I want to smell the evening air. Oh I want so much. So much I’ve taken for granted.
………………..

Last night as I was taking a nap, I heard some rustling in my hay tub. I turned to see what it was. I stepped over and sniffed and it was a very small four legger. A small dog. Nuzzling in MY HAY!!
The storm must have brought her in for cover. I really didn’t mind it. She was scared. I assured her it was ok. I asked her name. She said she didn’t have one. Was always call mutt. I told her Yellow hair will name you. Don’t be afraid of her.
Little bit was so tired. Skinny and I know she’s hungry. She just fell asleep. I stood over by her to keep her safe.

Later that night the others came over whispering about my new friend. I told them about her. Ella just swished her tail.
They all agreed to watch for her. They knew how it felt not to belong. They remembered!
Wendy took charge and told the others not to scare her. Welcome her and be good.
………….

The Morning sun broke through and yellow hair came to feed. Little pup stood by me waiting just like I told her to.
“WHO ARE YOU?” Yellow hair said.
“I heard there was a cute puppy down here at the barn but didn’t realized how cute you where.” Yellow hair brought out a small bowl of food and water for her. How did she know? I bet Tall Man told her. That’s her mate. Hmm. He’s very wise too.

Later…
Just before leaving, yellow hair whispered to me, “see, the great one does answer prayers, he sent you a friend”.
She said,” we will name her Charlie Girl.”
Oh let the adventures begin !

Welcome to Horse Tail Acres Charlie Girl!

Out for a little walk this morning. Felt good to walk in the sunshine and eat some grass with my buddies. I feel spunky today!

Lately my old foot hasn’t been well. Today I had surgery. There was several humans around to assist me to feel better. I promised yellow hair to be a good girl 🐴.
They gave me several pokes to help with pain and also some mighty fine stuff to help me relax and rest. I was calm. Wendy was concern. But I told her to take the others away to the pasture. Didn’t want to bother the humans. Especially Job! He loves to get into things and throw them places. It’s just how he is.

They took more X-rays and began the surgical process on my old foot. Removed a Karotoma. Yuck. It was pretty big.

It’s now done and my foot has a med shoe and wrapped. I’m going to be stalled for a while. Bummer. But I’ll get better ❤️‍🩹.
Yellow Hair will come and sit with me and talk. I love it when she visits and brushes my coat. I’ve event put kn some weight I hear her say which is good.
Well. Here’s to recovery!

My favorite time of the day is to be right here with my buddies grazing at sunset.
My life has been full being a horse. But I’m not done yet! I still have a lot of life yet to live.
The human named me Lacy for a good reason. Meaning Cheerful. A gift of God. I am full of hope in the great one.
My foot issue will be okay. I had another kind human who took X-rays and said “your beautiful”! I just had to swish my tail.
Job got a little jealous. So he tee tee’d on her electric cord while taking X-rays of my hoof.
Ella laughed and Wendy, well just snubbed them all.
I’m wearing a soft wrap for now snd it feels so good to my foot.
She rubbed my neck so kindly snd whispered in my ear “I’ll be back next week. We’re going to fix you a special hoof plate. So be nice to our friend coming with me.”
Of course I will. I asked her to bring me a treat but I don’t think she hear me. Well, I’ll get a treat from my own human, the yellow hair. She loves me so.
Well, time to meet at the Old Oak for the evening. Later.

10/04/2021

The human has added more critters to our farm. Ella’s, Job, Wendy, Hircus the Great Goat & even little pup Scarlet had to investigate an assess this situation.
As for me, The Old One 🐴 Lacy, is penned up this morning awaiting for my foot trimming.
But I’ll be on my way soo to check these odd pecking creatures this afternoon!
One even makes crowing noises I hope is doesn’t disturb my rest.

Ms Cash doesn’t like the thunder.
We know we have a good alarm on the east end of the pasture. We don’t pay her no attention. Not really. But when she bellows out in a particular tone, we do take a notice.
Today not so much.
