So my toddler has been long obsessed with a white horse who lives at the end of our road. She named her Golly Gee and we’ve spent years walking by every morning to say hello. She loves to tell us that one day she will meet Golly Gee for real and will ride on her back.

WELL.

Obviously we entertain her fancies and listen to her stories, but we never actually thought anything of it.

Turns out my dad was talking to a coworker, and his coworker’s wife has a horse she boards right in town.

Friends? It’s Golly Gee.

My toddler was correct. This summer, once COVID restrictions lift and the barn allows guests, we’re going to be meeting her up close and personal, and Little will be taking a ride.

I—

Is she prophetic? Is she Eliza Thornbery? Can she speak to the horse? I have questions.
