There
is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a
man. ~ Winston
Churchill
Has
there ever been a young girl that did not love horses? Just as people think of
a "boy and his dog", they think of a "girl and her horse".
Sometimes they outgrow it, sometimes it is a phase. Wouldn't
parents rather have their daughters "horse-crazy" instead of
"boy-crazy"? Some of us never outgrow the "horse-crazy"
phase at all. Not every girl is lucky enough to actually have a horse of their
own as I did you. For those lucky few it is a dream come true. After
months of searching I found the perfect companion and spent hours in the truck
bringing you home from
Texas
. There was such a comfort in the smell of you and a relaxation in
watching you graze. I could just breath the same air and be totally,
wonderfully, completely happy. Even though we didn't get to ride as much
as I would have liked, you had the life of a horse who was loved and loved by
many people. You were always a gentle, constant companion and a trooper
throughout your illness, until the end.
You
will always and forever be our "Lil' Pony Boy", my "Lil' Ray of
Sonnyshine"
