Trotzig is the German word for defiant just so you know. I've always loved that name for a horse. And I LOVE the name Tuesday for a girl.

Tuesday and her horse Trotzig Storm were the best in the world at dressage. Trotzig was a 9 year old, Thoroughbred, 15.3 hands tall. He was a chestnut, a stripe down his face and three socks. Tuesday was 27 years old and had been riding all her life.

One day as Tuesday worked Trotzig out; she noticed he wasn't favoring his right foreleg. She dismounted and led him back to the barn.

"He's lame, probably won't ever be able to be ridden again," the vet said.
Tuesday shut herself away. She spent all her extra time with Trotzig, hoping, praying that somehow he would heal. She longed to dance the dressage pattern as she had with Trotzig.

One day, Trotzig was out in the field, Tuesday was out watching him. He spooked at a truck coming up the drive and took off into a full gallop. Tuesday calmed him down as fast she could. She quickly checked his legs. They were fine. He was alright.

The show began and once again, Tuesday and Trotzig danced the dressage pattern. And once again, they won. Together, as a team, they won.

Blah, blah, blah. My dumb dog is barking her dumb face off.
