Idaho has been getting packed with snow (we are going on 15+ inches and counting), and we have had at least two weeks with the temperatures being below freezing and often dipping into the negatives with wind chill factor. All of that adds up to a lot of no riding, a very hyped up thoroughbred, and a very bored owner. Which would usually mean nothing to blog about. But, thankfully, Facebook reminded me of my post last year about having owned Charmer for 6 months. So that means its been a year and six months of owning him now. Wow. How crazy. I really never imagined that I would have owned him for this long, or that he would mean so much to me.
It is incredible how just seeing him, for just 5 minutes a day, can brighten my mood so much. He has become a rock for me and I love everything about him.

It is incredible how just seeing him, for just 5 minutes a day, can brighten my mood so much. He has become a rock for me and I love everything about him.
I love that he has always been the horse to catch me in my moments of weakness.
But I also love that he is the horse that always pushes me to be the best version of myself.
I love that he knows my abilities better than I do.
But I also love that he knows my limits better than I do.
I had never entirely believed or understood the term "heart horse", until I met mine. I did not understand how my horse could know me better than I know myself, until Charmer walked into my life. I had always taken the "your horse is the mirror of your soul" phrase with a grain of salt, until I met the horse that is a perfect mirror image of my heart and soul.
It has been a roller coaster of a journey with him - largely due to an exceptional amount of mental and emotional problems on my own part, that often presented themselves in my riding - but looking back on it all, I wouldn't change a thing. Reflecting on every step of the way, I see a big bay horse that never once left my side, and I am so grateful for him.
This horse has become my most trusted partner, and after a year and a half with him, my love for him just continues to grow. He is the horse that I see at my side for a very, very long future, and I cannot wait to see how that future plays out. Charmer is my partner in crime, and I couldn't have asked for a better one.
