Gaucho... thrilling moments

I can't help it - I find myself in love with a horse. Don't get me wrong. I love all horses, but Gaucho is just a dream. From the moment I saw him, I thought what a great stallion he is, but I had no idea that he is such a great horse and friend. We are really good friends. I groom him, and he stands in place. No fidgeting. Picking his hooves - not a problem. I have been leaning over him, and he is so quiet about it. So, last night - I got on him. It wasn't a long ride, but I had a halter and lead rope on him (tied at both ends of the rope), and I was leaning over him, and suddenly I was on him. We only went about a third of our driveway, but it was wonderful. How can something so simple be so fulfilling?
