I did choose very well eighteen years ago today. Casey Creek Farm in Kentucky was an adoption farm for abandoned nurse mare foals. We were adopting a beautiful, tiny one-month old buckskin filly. I choose her from a pile of photographs they had posted on their website.
Never having had any experience in raising a foal without its momma made it a scary yet exciting adventure to undertake. High Hope seemed the perfect name for her and me.
I could write pages about how High Hope has touched and blessed the lives of so many people in her eighteen years of life. She is a fine mare and one of the greatest joys of my life.

What a special story – and great picture of you both! šā¤ļøšŗ
That’s very nice of you. I love this mare ‘way too much!’, borrowing words from my grands
I can tell! Horses have always been irreplaceable in my life….like dogs….and cats…and… šā¤ļøš
Yes, indeed! š
Such a beautiful horse! Thank you for sharing her pic. I felt myself relax just looking at her.

Thank you very much. I’ve taken many photos of her over all these years. š
Ahhhhhhh – th
Eighteen years ago today
she was found on an adoption page,
and one now has the right to say
that she is of voting age,
but horses aren’t enfranchised,
which is a doggone pity,
for they’d improve (don’t be surprised)
life in every town and city.
They can’t diagram a sentence,
but they have kind intents;
they can see coming menace,
because they have horse sense,
which (I think you know it’s true)
not a lot of voters do.
Oh, Andrew, what a wonderful poem you have written! How clever of you. š I am going to print it off and put in with her photos.
Andrew! I love this! You are very clever. I’m printing your poem and putting it in her photo book. Thank you very much.
What a sweet photo of you and High Hope!
Thank you very much, Maria!
