Who knew when I sold one of my Friesian mares and got a Gypsy Vanner gelding as part of the bargain, that he would be an instrument of change? I thought River, the Gypsy, was very cute, and maybe he would be my next riding horse. But then Lili, Wilma's half-Friesian daughter came into the picture and things got complicated. River was starting to be "the extra guy".
Melisa had said at one point that she thought Gypsy's were great for the TBAH program. I wondered if she would be interested in another Gypsy in exchange for my tuition and the cost of the COREs in the Certification Program. The old me would have hesitated to write what I would have considered such a "ballsy" email. However, the me I'm becoming knew she couldn't say yes if I didn't ask, and I had nothing to lose by putting the request out there.
So I did. And after some thought and a few more emails and some photos and a video, Melisa did indeed say "yes"!
The "extra guy" came into my life for his own divine purpose: To help me fund participation in a program for which I have a lot of excitement and passion, and to move to his purpose in life, as part of Melisa's "healing herd." I'm so excited for us both.
Abhain heads to his new home: Travel well, Friend, and thank you!
