You can spend your whole life obsessed with something. You can avidly read every book you can get your hands on regarding the subject between the ages of 5 and 15. You can continue to learn more and invest large amounts of time in this thing for significant portions of your adult life. You can teach other people to love it, you can learn repeatedly that you know less than many but more than some. You can own (and often study recreationally) a gigantic encyclopedia on the subject. You can have long, informed conversations on different points of strength and weakness with other enthusiasts and learn to recognize subtle characteristics in various specimens at a glance...
...and then sometimes out of the blue you will see an ad selling a distinctive breed of horse you never knew existed, only a few hundred miles away.
Life is just so vast. I suppose in some ways it is refreshing to know you can never run out of things to learn.

Ah yes, the Curly Horse. Definitely a very unique breed of horse. I think it's really neat that they're hypoallergenic, gives me hope if I develop strange allergies some day. :)
Yes, it's good to know that such a thing exists!
That's the goofiest looking horse I've ever seen-
