“Sunsets in the Mirror are Sometimes More than They Appear”

it was quite the weekend for Bosley’s host... she had just lost her beloved horse leaving her remaining Trakehner feeling a bit lost... I suppose that makes two of them. She is quite the animal lover and rescue advocate, and was worried that a now incomplete herd would only cause more distress. So she did what any amazing humanitarian would do- she started looking into fostering possibilities at a couple local horse shelters. Since I was on my way to pick up Mr. Bosley, I thought I’d tag along and become a little less ignorant in the world of horse rescue. Those volunteers are so amazing, patient and dedicated to see in action. You could tell by the bonds they have formed with their equine rescues how trusting these once mistreated and abandoned horses and ponies have become. I’ll be looking to get more involved with some potential podcasting and portraits to be created as well as sponsoring a foster so that his or her care needs can be addressed while the vetted foster home can just focus on providing a nurturing environment that can one day lead to a beautiful adoption. It would seem that some forms of loss can lead to new chapters of gain... and maybe gaining perspective on what’s important or what is meaningful is part of the journey. Driving home, I was struck by a mesmerizing sky in my side mirror... after a full day of overcast. A sign perhaps? Or perhaps just a play to the standard disclaimer on many of our manufactured reflections with this variation stating ‘Sunsets in the mirror are sometimes more than they appear...’
