First day continued

So the grooming commenced and Sir and I were feeling each other out. After grooming him I took him to graze in the back of the property. I was instructed to not allow it for more than 10-15 minutes due to the new grass could wind up upsetting his stomach.
So I followed the instruction and returned him to his paddock when the time was up.

I assisted with some other duties and kept hearing about Laurel. She is the founder and heartbeat of the organization. The driving force along with her husband Tom.
I kept hearing Sue tell people and myself when certain questions were asked that "you will have to ask Laurel".

Funny how your mind can manufacture what a person looks like or what a person is like based on comments, etc. The vision that I had in my head was of this older gray haired lady, maybe somewhat unapproachable. Why? Who the hell knows! I will leave that up to the therapists and CSW's., LOL

I eventually met Laurel's husband Tom. All bundled up and suffering from a bad flu or something. I tried several times to shake his hand but he refused in order to save me from the illness he was suffering with.
I can't remember exactly but I think I met the mystery woman Laurel the second time I went to the rescue. Was I correct in my assumption? Hell NO! ;-)
She was the nicest person and very welcoming! Far from old as well. (will not tell you her age cause it's just not what we men do! LOL)

She thanked me for being there and expressed that she had heard nice things about me. Which I was glad to hear. ;>)
We talked about my experience with horses and horses in general. The organization, etc.
I felt as if I had found a home......a new purpose and beginning.....
