AJ The Horse Learns That He Is Adopted

One sunny spring day, AJ's Dad , Bill, took AJ out to a big green field to graze. While they were there, Bill said to AJ, "Son I have some important news to tell you."


"AJ, You Are Adopted"

AJ looked up with his big brown horse eyes and paid close attention to his Dad. He knew this was something serious. "AJ, " Bill said with a big gulp. "You are adopted." At that moment AJ chocked on the grass that was in his mouth.

What To Do?

For days afterwards, AJ thought and thought about this important news. What should he do? His dad is not his real dad? What does that all mean?

Saddle Up!

One day he mentioned it to his Amigo, Sir Blair. And Sir Blair started laughing. He said: "AJ, all the horses at the stable are adopted! And does it bother us? Not at all! Because we are all cared for and we are all loved!

"Your father is your
father regardless if he adopted your or not!"

Your father is your father regardless if he adopted you or not! It is like a good saddle. If it fits like a good saddle, and feels like a good saddle, it is a good saddle!"

It is A Good Saddle!

The next day AJ's Dad was tacking AJ up. AJ looked up at his Dad and thought: "I really like this saddle! It feels real good."
