Every summer, I go to a dude ranch in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado where I have access to their ponies twenty-four hours a day. My daily routine is to ride Monte, my favorite pony, to a picnic area next to Lemon Lake. Monte lazily grazes while I eat my lunch. I take in the beauty of the lake and mountains and breathe the crisp clean mountain air. Monte looks up at me and laughs, as though he knows what I am thinking. I laugh back. He lazily goes back to his grazing. I go back to my thinking.

Thank you Mark!
Priceless, I love where your imagination takes you. 🙂
LOL!! Thank you Colleen!! 😀
I love horses! Great story.
Thank you Jenn! 😀
Nice story. Great relationship between human and animal and it portrays a certain amount of understanding between them. She loves being there and so does Monte. They have lunch together…yet, separate. Great job, Joy! 🙂
Thank you Jessie! You understand a lot more than I do! LOL!
Aww, what a lovely story Pj. I think Monte is just as glad to have his friend visit. 🙂
Thank you Ameena! 🙂
Your story sounds so peaceful and relaxing. I like horses but I have never had much of a chance to be around them or around them much. I guess when I did get a chance to see them I liked them because they reminded me of dogs, pushing and nuzzling their muzzle into you. Nice take on the prompt!
Thank you Mandi! I like horses too. I think they are peaceful animals.
What a lovely day. ;0)
Thank you! 🙂
Most welcome. ;0)
Animals know what we is on our minds more often than we think… They are true mind readers!
I agree with you Roger! 🙂 In fact, I think they are telepathic.
I really liked this story! It was fun and relaxing!
Thank you Lynn!
very calming and peaceful!
Good story. Your’s are always so uplifting. Mine was about fighting ponies because I was in a strange mood. I had heard from my ex that my cat, Cleo, had died yestday and was weepy, sad, and angry all day about it. Today I am a little more settled. Sorry to drone on and on. 😦
Thank you Susan. I’m sorry to hear about your cat Cleo. That would put me in a strange mood too.
Sounds like a great day. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
Yes, horses can laugh! Great story, PJ!
LOL! Yes, they sure can! Thanks Terri! 🙂
