The Three Musketeers
Disband
I believe they actually disbanded some time ago.
I’ve just held on to the hope they’d get together on horseback again.
Once upon a time,
in the magical world of horses, there were three sisters, very close in age and living not too far from eachother. As kids they all had always loved horses and then during mid-life they found themselves each with a horse and boarding at the same barn!
For many years the three of them would meet at the barn three time a week, rain, snow or shine. Together with their four-legged partners, they would ride, school or just sit and talk, catching up with each other’s lives. They went on excursions together, laughed and cried together, shared losses, accomplishments, and dreams.
And then there were the trail rides, both local and afar. Adventures where they truly became ‘The Three Musketeers!’ You might have seen them, riding together through fields and forests, each one living her horse dream.
But alas, as often happens in fairy tales, time passes and some dreams fade as priorities and passions change. As fate would have it only one Musketeer remains with her dream but now, sadly, without her partner.
A wise woman told her why she could never give up horses:
“Horses are in your soul” she said.
And the Solo Musketeer knows that to be true.
