Then the stableman told me that while I had been away at competitions, my fiancé had come to the stables several times — not alone. He brought another woman with him, showed her my horses, bragged, and hugged her — right in front of my loyal horse.

Then everything became clear. She simply couldn’t stand being near someone who had hurt me.

The wedding never took place. I went home, took off my dress, and hugged my one true friend.
