GOD my heart aches every time I see the black Dartmoor

#it looks so much like my heart horse that never was (except the Dartmoor is missing a little white marking he had) #he was at the barn where a family member had their horse. a little too poorly cared for... he refused to be rideable (past abuse probably) #and they just didnt bother with him much. he was so so so pretty but his mane was always tangled and hooves out of form and stuff #whenever I came along I'd spend the whole time there just caring for him. brushing out the tangles. braiding his mane. oiling his hooves. #(just braiding the mane could take 20-30 minutes. it was so long and beautiful) #i brought him along for hacks in a halter and lead rope whenever i could. the lazy fuck (affectionate) REFUSED to go faster than a walk #but I am also a lazy fuck so it fit me pretty well tbh #in the beginning he was really tentative towards me and the stable owner had to help me go get him. but eventually he started coming to me #wasn't much of a cuddly type but you know in your heart when a horse enjoys your company don't you #my life got in the way too much because I was in high school commuting 90 minutes one way #but. sigh. what we could've had if I wasn't so freaking busy all the time :( #I'm not even sure he's alive anymore. I think it's been four years since my family member moved their horse and his fur was graying then #wasn't a dartmoor though #papers claimed him as a dole horse but his papers were untrustworthy loll. he looked more like a fell or maybe dales pony #z talks
