I have always liked Jitterbug and Tango, two sisters, and had thought about adopting them together. When I found out that Tango had been adopted and Jitter left alone, I was heartbroken. Who would love her I thought ??? Would anyone spend time with her again ?
The two sisters had helped me get my Mojo back when I had been nipped by Harry. They are both sweet and docile horses, more prone to laziness than high energy. I had been asked to go into their pasture and take pictures of them but was skidish. How could anyone be afraid of these two I wondered ? Well, as I was taking pictures of Tango, Jitterbug snuck up behind me and started nuzzling my shoulder, knowing that I was afraid. I think she wanted me to understand that they wouldn't hurt me and that it was OK. I found myself crying and wondering how I could ever be afraid of horses again.
It was after that episode that I fell in love with Jitterbug.
My husband and I had talked about adopting two different horses, Harry and Kenny, and did. We had lots on our plate at the time, so we hoped that no one would adopt Jitter until we were ready to ourselves. As it turned out, that's exactly what happened.
We formally adopted Jitterbug last month, and hope to bring her up to her FOREVER home this week so she and Harry and Kenny can be a family together !
We have one more we'd like to adopt to complete our little family. Someone is looking at that particular horse so we're just waiting patiently in the background. If it's meant to happen, it will. I believe in the end, he'll be with us and we'll love him like we do Harry, Kenny, and Jitterbug !
I'll keep you posted !
