A Visit With Our Favorite Uncle, Django

We break from Lox coverage to celebrate a visit with one of our favorite horses ever, Django (named after European jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt). Django is without doubt the best friend that our dear departed Rose had, notwithstanding her odd way of showing her affection with near-total indifference and the occasional kick in the chest! Undeterred, the ever loyal Django continued his devotion, his hopes bolstered seasonally by Rose' hormonal swings which caused her to flirt with him despite herself.

For many years Django's Mom Claudia and I rode together nightly. We were both in-house lawyers and would chat about the day, and used to say that Django and Rose had learned enough about practicing law to open a pretty darn good law firm.

Django has been feeling poorly lately and all the local horse girls have been hanging around a lot bringing treats and telling him how handsome he is. Here are a few pics of some special "bran-face" moments in the cool breezeway.
