Everyone has a different idea on what a unicorn is for them. The criteria for unicorn status is unique to every person.
Some time ago in 2019 after I brought home Tiger but before I lost Blade I made the comment of how lucky I was to have a heart horse AND a unicorn.
Blade was my forever heart horse. He had physical and (some) mental issues but he was my heart and soul. We were bonded and had a connection many people aren’t lucky enough to understand. His limitations didn’t exactly make him a unicorn because he really couldn’t do what I wanted but he was what my soul needed.
Tiger came along as the unicorn. Tall. Dark. Handsome. Easy to get along with. Affordable. Sound. GREAT mind. He checked ALL of the boxes plus some. I love him dearly but I’d be lying if I said we created the bond Blade and I had. We have a bond but it’s different and I’m sure it will evolve even more in time.
Now I also have Nahe. Am I dreaming? Are my standards set too low? Could I be so lucky? I loved Nahe the day I met him but in the last 16 months he’s become a hybrid to me. While I still have my heart threads for Blade, Nahe has been patching some of the holes and weak spots. His companionship and personality are therapeutic and soul-healing. In a world full of so much hate and stress Nahe is a welcome oasis. He comforts me and has a way of knowing when I need some extra smoochies. Nahe checks all the boxes too. He’s tall, big bodied, handsome, sound, sane, surefooted. Are unicorn heart horses a thing?
One thing is certain. I have been blessed with some amazing creatures…unicorn…heart horses…and everything in between.
