When I was growing up there was a boarding stable for horses just a couple of blocks from my house and I could walk there after school and they let me take horses out for a ride to exercise them and help clean out stalls. One of my favorite horses was for sale. His name was Applejack and I rode him every chance I could get. I begged and begged my parents to buy him for me but they thought it was a foolish expense, and eventually he was sold to someone else and I never saw him again. All these years later oh, I still miss that horse!
