For the Love of Horses!

Jill could not stop thinking of riding horses in Ireland. Her last beau had said he'd be interested in riding, but he hadn't been really... obviously -- they'd never been to a stable together and he'd never even tried to find the time.

Her Irish crush was still on her mind. Had she invited him riding? When they'd facebook chatted he said his internet connection is rubbish. He'd said have fun with the music night and that he would find a way to be in touch, but he hadn't been. It was just like he fell off the face of the earth, egads.

At the unique equine fundraising event she introduced herself to a cute organizer, though she had no idea if he was single or not... He mentioned that he was deep into an MBA program until December, but that he'd call her to go riding before that.

Suffice to say she wasn't holding her breath. But, her roommate was excited. She thought he'd be into Jill and said she had said so long before this meeting...

"He's thinking of you tonite" roomie carried on, when Jill came home and filled her in on the party... she actually kind of hoped so! He was into music too apparently, and she would welcome a sign of interest.

Mantra Song?

Jill said she had only written one song on horseback. It was about bailing out on the boss and riding off together on Monday, and really seemed to solve the matter when she had to hack Ellie past the Alligator pond or the g i a n t burn pile, to soothe both their nervousness daily, ha!

She believed that music affected both her and the horse's physiology. She sang it slow to slow their heartbeats and the breathing rates, as well as to bring down blood pressure... she called it "Campain"

It was weird to run into that very boss-partner the day after telling the story... "you broke his heart" she was told, in case she hadn't felt bad ENUF about the accidental boyfriend already.
