Everymorning I drink my coffee and gaze out the window. Beyond my kitchen I can see a patch of grass surrounded by a hedgerow. This is our front yard, where all kinds of herbs are growing. And lately, a few horses can be seen, roaming the front yard during my morning coffee time.
These aren't my horses. They live here by chance, just like me!
Tila was the first. She showed up during the winter of 2021 across the creek. I have no idea what her backstory is, though I would love to know. My partner and I started to call her Tila and bring grass over every day. Eventually we gained her trust and since then she has lived on our side of the creek full time.
And as of December, there is another mare and her foal living on the homestead too. The three get along quite well. Tila even plays with the foal when his mama is tired. They may be here a few weeks or a few more months, who knows? Whatever happens I know that we've done the best we can for them during their stay on this land. And they have helped us immensely too!
