Have Chair, Will Travel

I had fun taking this week's Saturday Centus prompt and working it into the equine theme of this blog.  Think outside the box with me on this one. (Or inside the box, as it may be.)

Have Chair, Will Travel

For weeks, bitter wintry weather blanketed the high plains of Colorado, driving the people indoors.

The lady stayed close to home and hearth. She ventured outside only long enough to feed the horses; her gloved fingers aching acutely in the cold.

Finally the sun came out; warming the land and enticing the lady on a much needed outing.

She packed a lunch, snacks, water, and her favorite chair—a big, wide, comfortable ... and surprisingly portable ... chair.

The lady admired her provisions with a grin because the chair dominated the small room.  She was ready to roll.  It was going to be a good day.


Hey lady, let's get this rig rollin'.
Your chair awaits.

  3. It's a nice story. We generally pack our chairs when we have an 'outing'.

    I like your horse. It reminded me of my horse. I rode her to high school my first two years.

    I hope the saddle doesn't stay on too long. All the weight on a horse's back when not necessary takes years off their lives. In nature they were not pack animals.

    BTW, this is my first try at Saturday Centus. I think I like it.

  4. Thanks for reading my little story Grey Horse, Dreaming, and Jim.

    Jim, I would have loved to ride a horse to school. How fun! No worries on the saddle, it is synthetic and very light. I'm a wimp and I can easily carry it with one hand.

    Your Misty is the cutest, sweetest horse ever. Her photos tell the whole story of her loving personality.

  13. Tee hee, Judee. I've not ever seen her "sit", but she does like to lie down and take a power nap several times a day.
