#not namedropping the dude's kid but i love her sooo much

[weepycat]

i gave my plug's daughter a pony ride ONE time over a year ago, and since then she has taken a shine to me that can only be described as sunny side up. she apparently begged for riding classes (with my former trainer?) before her trip to germany, but spent the entire time talking about how she wants to ride "vivien's horse" when she got home... i am so fucking touched.

i dont even care if i get free weed out of these rides i am just SO happy to be doing equine therapy again. it's not technically EQT but she enjoys the same stuff i did for the kids back then, like playing hook the horseshoe and picking leaves during trail rides.

i might try "don't drop the egg!" one day when she's feeling confident. i hope she decides to keep coming by!! walking alongside horses and children taught me a lot about kindness and patience as a teenager. i think it would be good for my mental health too, and budgie could be the perfect horse for in-hand lessons if i decide to pursue EQT professionally...
