Jubilant Heart

I'm only a week late in blogging about the beautiful horse above named

Jubilant Heart.

It was a stormy, tornado-filled afternoon. Of course, I had forgotten my phone at home. After being released from lock-down due to the severe weather at work, I raced home to save the once fluffy -now soaked- white pyrenees inhabiting my backyard. I also retrieved my phone and raced on to my Mom's to get Kahyim. Only after stepping into the house did I bother to scan through the nearly fifty texts asking if I'd been swept away into the sky by one of the many funnels that filled it that day.

At this point, a very peculiar text caught my eye.

Why peculiar?

First, it was from my Dad... the anti-texter.

Second, it was a picture message of a picture of a beautiful paint horse.

Third, it read:

"kahyim has a horse her mom seems to want a horse more dad loves both his girls so he bought kandice a horse too here is a pic of kandices horses father if you want to see your very own horse come out to the parking lot now"

Of course, I immediately called in confusion and after only being asked where I was, was told to stay put and that he'd be there in a second.

Sure enough, up pulls a horse trailer, a Dad in coveralls and a beautiful paint horse.
I know it sounds romantical, but I swear at that moment (as I'm literally hop-bounding down the driveway) the sun peeked out and the light and warmth surrounded the previously dark and drizzly area. It was the most unreal moment.

So, now I embark on a new adventure.

That of training Jubilant.

She is halter- and saddle-broke but has never been ridden.

I shall be the first.

(..and possibly also have my first broken bone-haha).
