Infinite love

Today, i was reminded of one of the biggest love of my life: Nectar. Not that i forgot him, no no, just that it was so long time ago…

It’s a picture from us in october 1993. I was preparing some riding exam and my teacher gave me the right to ride him for the preparation. If i remember well, i even got to ride him for the exam and it went pretty well. This horse, Nectar du Bouleau, had a lot of humor. The problem was that it was not always the same kind of humor as we, riders, could have. Nectar thought it was always very funny to begin the riding with some lenghts of agility exercices, like the horse on the video bellow can do. When Nectar was free from rider, he liked to jump above the door of the paddock and visit the region by himself.

I remember more precisly that when i was young, i was too little to climb by myself on the horse, so i always had to wait for the teacher to come and help me, which was kind of a humiliation every time. Even if i put the tireupp as low as possible, i was too little then to put me on the back of the horse, especially Nectar, who was kind of big. But the first time i succeded, it was with him.

I also remember the long hours i spent sitting in his box and talking to him. He was the most beautiful horse on the earth to me until i got the privilege to have my own horse.

This was in summer 98 or 99, i don’t remember really. She shared my life during a long time and taughed me how life has to be lived: intensely and respectfully. Miss you…

ah, nostalgie…
