Equine Affair, here we come....

Getting excited!!! Headed out to Equine Affair tomorrow morning at 7 am. Be back Sunday.

Good thing I got the day off from work due to Veterans Day - Thanks to all the men and women who work and gave so much to make it free for me and everyone else to express themselves and be free.

So, if you don't hear from me for a couple of days, I'll be back, full of information and ideas from a great list of people who know way more about horses than I would ever hope to learn....

If you are going, enjoy! If not, stay tuned....

Lynn :)

'Tis a Sad Day, Indeed...

Hi, all. My friend, Kate, lost one of her most trusted horses in her horse program I have been helping with. Ellie was injured mysteriously about 1 1/2 months ago. Her injuries were healing well, but then she began having neurological issues. Yesterday, Ellie was unable to stand, so Kate, her vet, Susan, and I were with her while the vet helped her on her last journey.

Kate is devastated. This is the horse that all the beginners worked with. The horse that introduced people to the horse partners program I have been working with all summer. Her granddaughter, Paige, is especially close to Ellie and wanted to be with her in the end, but time wise it was not going to happen.

Please send well wishes and prayers or warm, comforting thoughts Kate and Paige's way. While the shock and loss are so fresh, the caring will certaily help them.

Dear Ellie - rest in peace and enjoy your freedom from the complications that affected you. You will be missed and we will never be able to replace you.
