This is one of my favourite photographs. I love the way the horse looks totally blissed out by the music. It reminds me of our old family dog, a Jack Russell called Fudge. He was a music fan too. Everyday, when I practised the piano or the flute, Fudge would come in, throw himself down by the fire and listen. Occasionally, he would join in.
He especially enjoyed the saxophone. As I opened the case and prepared the reed in the mouthpiece, Fudge would quake in anticipation, shivers of joy running through his body. And then I would play and he would sing. Our duets were legendary. He would howl along with the high notes and growl with the low notes.
It was a wonder I could keep a straight face and keep playing. Goodness knows what the neighbours thought 😉
Do you have an animal friend in your life? How do you share the joy?
Great pic. In my experience you have to quite good on the sax before it stops sounding like a dog.

Thanks Peter. Yes, it’s true, and Fudge was always so much better than me 😉
