Skunk was the game changer, because of him I became a more patient and kinder person.
I learnt that whilst things may not work out as you planned you have choices and you can make lemonade out of lemons. Skunk went lame early in our relationship and I was advised to move him on by a well meaning friend. I let the advice go over my head, as riding was not the most important thing to me, my relationship with my horses was. Through Skunk I met many people as we searched for answers that I otherwise would never have met and I learnt to see shades of grey.
I believe you have choices in life and you can choose how you view an event. I could choose to be bitter at losing Skunk and yes there are dark moments when I do rail against the world and my loss; but I prefer to celebrate that I was lucky enough to know him, no matter how much losing him hurts at least I knew him and nothing can ever take that from me.
