the acton f p w may 28 19e9 by wendy thornton anyone who knew me or spoke to me but fall must be wondering how ive managed to contain myself this long and not have written lengthy column on my hone last september i we wandering around about 18 inches off the ground delightedly humming m hone a horse ive got a hone me mt i have horse horse i have ami for those who were a little slow in picking up the fact that i had a horse i would now and then tteer the conservation around to a point i where i could casually introduce hone it wasnt hard t read any good book latehrjno le been too busy- with the hone or mow are the kid doing at school v iv for something to do she dragged herself out of the itibhr slumped while befog saddled but when i got ort ller head went op her tail went up and fine but theyre keen to gel the twirled and tippytoed and f- l imi home to the horse and pony or how are you the horse and i are fine then theyd say oh do you have a horset and id be away because i couldnt jutt uy yes and leave it at that it got to be so bad that cord would turn green at the flnt mention of horse and would leave to do something somewhere else it all began when i was tmall and rode the bread wagon to school in toronto i never got involved with horse books and i didnt particularly care for western movies but there was something about the feel and smell and warmth of a horse that got through to me when we moved to oakville i began spending most of the weekends at culls stable on the queen t but never developed into a particularly good rider i suppose thats why i didnt bolder thinking of a horse of my own then cord entered the picture and the smell of shaving lotion became more intriguing than the smell of hone and that was that since we moved lo acton 10 years ago il was always a semijoke this horseinthe backpaslurecomeday we had the land here but the money was always somewhere else i had pictures of our horse arriving when i was about 70 and a shaky old cord helping a shaky old me up a shaky old udder onto this pretty prancing thing then late last summer when the cool autumn winds begin to blow through the leaves with a dry sound i got into one of tny innual restless moods and decided i didnt want to grow old gracefully i wanted to bounce through my thirties and fly through my forties with flair so i saved and scrounged and went horsehunting cord must about had a tit when he saw some of the things i was considering buying then i figured i might as well do things properly and went lo wynfield stock farms at georgetown and told roy loiuon or my requirements a nice steady horse obedient that wasnt too expentiveand hopped and did all torts of fancy things i jutt hung on scared stiff and said how much inexplicably we clicked then the fun began for three weeks i rode her in the indoor arena before shed walk in a might line then we hauled around outside foe another couple of weeks before my saddle arrived and i could bring her home and weve been hauling ever since ive had her eight months now and shes filled out into a really beiutihil horse sleek and shiny she now suits her name black velvet hone people have come up and complimented me on her appearance and her behavior and asked what her breeding a and to me that it n extraspecial compliment even though i hive no idea what her breeding is velvet isnt what you would call a good hone she wants to fly and resents sedate strolling we went for a 25 mile jaunt recently and while i could hardly nuke il home to bed velvet danced another two or three miles with gord and wanted to go further so 111 bounce through my thirties all right and fly through my forties i have a feeling that velvet wont ever slow down but somehow i feel ii will be without lair wlule i was down at ionians roy hated that few women can nuke a decent apple pie they fill il with cinnamon and huff and you cant taste the apple at all well i suppose it depends on the applet you use becausl tome teem to be absolutely flavorless lo begin with and then you must put a bit of something in or youll end up with blah pie of what cord calls restaurant pie tills recipe happens to be exceptionally good in my
