I did in fact get a pony (eventually. There were five years of riding lessons, a year of taking care of a pony otherwise used for pony rides, a medical crisis for my mother, and then the Dorothy.)
Who was amazing and awesome and SO SMART and we were like that, and it's part of why I don't ride now, because there's no way to duplicate that. (Even if I could find another horse, and afford it, there's no way I can get out to a barn often enough and, y'know, also earn a living.)
Sarah Monette (who also writes as Katherine Addison) has a new Patreon specifically for 'Milo, my horse, significantly helps me manage chronic health stuff, but horses are expensive. If I have money for horse related bills, I can stress less and do more writing (and also have money for things like books that help with the writing research)', and the $2 a month and up level gets you posts about Milo, with photos, and that is helping feed some of my desire for horse in my life. (She also does great commentary on things like what ears are doing and what that means.)
