Rubin. A gemstone of a name for a horse who made you work to find his brilliance. He was not easy in the beginning, layered, complex, a horse who required patience before he would show you anything real.
The horses that make you earn their trust always give you something more precious than the ones who offer it freely.
When Rubin finally let you in, what you found was luminous. A mind as sharp as his body, and a willingness that felt like a gift.
