Brokenhearted


Thank you for saving my life.  Twice!


Thank you for the midnight rides.


Thank you for taking care of my babies when they were on your back.


Thank you for going forehead to forehead and bringing peace to my spirit.


Thank you for taking care of me when I was too weak to ride but knew that I'd be safe on your back.

    Donna - his name was Kane. Is Kane. He was a lovely, dignified horse with a lovely, dignified soul that I believe now knows everything about the universe, and abides in peace. This was a day of deep tragedy for us, but also of amazing outpourings of kindness and love. It was very hard. And now lives will have huge holes in them where a big, wonderful boy once fit. Her heart really was broken.

    But all of you who comment here? Your love is felt also. For Rachel, I say thank you. Thank you so much.

    Oh, Rachel. Crying here. I know that when Griffen passed away, I was staggered by the enormity of the loss. Such powerful, gentle spirits leave gaping, heartbreaking holes. The horses that we love, that we connect with so profoundly are such a precious gift. And when the time comes, such a devestating loss. And Kane was far too young.

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    Love to you all...
