Pictures courtesy of wifey Lynn...you know, my other half (or my baby's momma...ha ha ha...you know I had to put that in there...sheesh:). Missy was scheduled to attend a friends birthday party, which was on a work day for me...yeah..great! So when I came home that evening, I wanted to see the pictures Lynn had taken. Needless to say...I was amazed; I had no idea that this little kid's party had taken place at a horse ranch...complete with horse rides! So many thoughts began to race through my head: 1) any parent would want to be in attendance for their child's first anything...including horse riding....so imagine the feeling I had of being left behind and missing all that fun. 2) Just by looking at the pictures...I realized that horses are special creations. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think they are the biggest animal that kids can get the closest to i.e., right on the horses back. It's no question in my mind that a shy, little kid can gain the greatest confidence knowing that he, or she can ride on the back of such a strong, tall and beautiful friend (horse). This song was inspired at first by the sadness I had once I 'd realized what an awesome time I had missed. But as the music builds, it is inspired by the strong beauty posed by all horses (and other animals in general). I know first hand that Missy left her horse with so much confidence and happiness...it's hard for me to imagine that these beautiful creatures can give so much to a young person's self esteem, but receive mistreatment and abuse in return. I dedicate this song to the wonderful horses that made my daughter happy that day...as well to the people like Diane (Galaxy) who work hard to protect them. To see them as the strong creatures they are...but to get close to them as friends is a totally awesome feeling. Thus the term..."Horse~Happy."
I agree with you, too bad more animals aren't being protected they give love and receive abuse, it's not fair it's so nice to see how much you love Missy and are involved in her life, you're the best dad ever, kinda wish you were mine LOL, I love my dad to death don't get me wrong it's just that I love you and your family too! I'm glad Missy had a good time! My niece had ponies come to her party and some kids were scared at first but then fell in love. It was great to see!
