Woke since 1946. Retired and now like to care for rescued horses. I’m getting old and I don’t respond to personal messages. Remembering the 1950s and 60s, women and minorities were respected a lot less than they are now. I don’t want to go back.

I felt gloomy so I drove to visit the horses. It was such a lovely mild day that I was overwhelmed with a peaceful feeling.

Calypso the spy had nothing to report so we walked around checking every quadrant.

This evening Daryl didn’t want me to touch other horses. When Calypso, the herd spy wanted to show me something he let me go.

An elephant I used to visit. She was being bullied by a huge male elephant when stole her hay. I spoke to a zookeeper who immediately worked to keep them in separate pens. The last time I saw her I used horse body language inviting her to join my herd. She smiled at me

Daryl and Hayla soaking up sunlight. Let me tell you how things work around here. I walked down to the woods alone because Daryl did not authorize anyone to follow me.

Sister made me walk to her like Willow does. Today Willow hurried to me because she’s my precious baby.

Willow was born in the wild. People were afraid of her. She’s the most polite gentle pet. Here she is admiring herself in the mirror. Willow loves wearing things.

I visited my herd today. It was a good time.

Bramble was an extraordinary wild mare. Born a leader she took over the herd while being respectful of the leaders. She organized the herd to line up and face a threat. One day Daryl was upset and she calmed him down instantly. One evening I was leaving but heard a bell. She trained me to respond!…

I used to take Topaz for a walk at a farm that had llamas next door. If I suggested we spy on them she wanted to get there quick. They gawked at her then stuck their noses up in the air then they’d hide. As soon as they appeared again she would do it to them. Years later…

Yes. I could totally climb up there. I got there just in time to remove the ladder before these two clowns gave it a go.

Dandy was a champion Connemara from England. He was highly trained and a champion show jumper. It took him years to trust me. He showed me how to properly handle a horse by refusing to move or even look at me until I figured out my mistake. One day my mother caught him helping himself to feed…

Daryl fell hard for Skunk. He acted all goofy. Skunk decided she had to eradicate Hayla and they were in a viscous fight. That’s why Skunk is kept away from the others.

My niece and my sister look a bit alike. Horses know when people are related. Sister the horse was a bit freaked out and wouldn’t go near anyone until my niece left.

Brian @beano77.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Daryl didn’t let the other horses near me much. They stayed back and stared at us.

I haven’t seen my niece Dawn for 33 years. Today we got together at my sister’s house for dinner. We had a great time. The horses had to show the visitors that I belonged to them. Daryl would hardly leave my side. He let me pet Calypso only a bit.

Fall is coming rapidly where I live. I’m never ready to let go of summer. Later a wave of nostalgia will remind of going to college and reuniting with my friends from all over the world.

Bubby was born in the wild. My sister rescued him from a kill pen. He tries to be instantly obedient. 2 mares his age irritates him so he hangs out with Daryl.

Often Daryl stares at Hayla. WTF? She’s trying telekinesis to open the barn door. She stood like that until I let her in.

Topaz was magnificent and she knew it. I wasn’t very experienced when I took care of her but she was so intelligent that she adapted to me. She knew I was soft hearted so if I touched her back with a stick she put me in charge of her and the other horses. She would do everything I asked.

I’m not superstitious and I don’t believe in ghosts but when my favorite cat died I had a strange experience. Sitting on my couch a dark undulating shadow raced across my wall. I jumped up and looked at where it landed. Nothing there! I closed my eyes and he appeared larger than life.

Daryl and Calypso were very affectionate. I thought they might try sitting on me!

I visited my herd and checked out my sister’s new tractor. Sister showed me where it was. When I climbed up in it and made zoom zoom noises she looked to see if I was getting in trouble.

Sister removed her stall door and went outside to graze next to my sister’s new tractor.

Unless Willow hasn’t seen me for a while she waits far away. She knows she’s more important than me and I have to walk to her. If she missed me she whinnies and trots to my side.

Topaz was a champion show jumper and a fine friend. She used to issue a joyful loud squeal going over a jump. She loved having a Van Gogh print on her stall way. After an equestrian event she always refused to go home.

One peak experience for me was taking the goats for a walk.

I thought my grandpa had a lot of cash. I asked him if I could have the rubber band when he was through with it. I was 8 and didn’t realize it was a piggy bank for me on my birthday.

Sister is a rebel. She didn’t need Daryl’s permission to run to me.

After I walked to Willow she got all happy. We are good friends.

Daryl doesn’t allow his herd to rush shamelessly to me. Bubby was asking permission.

When my sister rescued wild horses I had to be extra gentle to not scare them. Daryl and Hayla were disgusted with me for wasting time being nice to heathens. I held Daryl’s feed bucket for a year while he ate. Horses think that’s special treatment. After a year he forgave me and so did Hayla.

Chevy Chase is a distant memory. He was a spirited donkey. If anyone yelled at me he would arrange to poop where that person had to walk in the dark. He was my dear friend.

Instead of hiding Daryl put a head lock on me.

This photo makes me laugh. Calypso distracted me so the other horses could circle behind me still hiding. They are hard to see on the left side of the photo. They like to play.
Horses hiding.

Willow made Bubby leave then showed me she wanted scratching. Horses socialize by scratching a spot another horse can’t reach.

Calypso came out of hiding for a carrot.

Sister would like to inhale all the carrots in my pockets.

Quiet now. Don’t let Sister know you can see her hiding. Her face is behind some shrub rendering her invisible. Horses are really bad at hiding.

Sister beckoned to me. I asked Willow what she thought. She answered by blocking my view of that brazen hussy.
