SOME OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT:

Connie Reeves gave me my first paying horse job when I was 15.
I was priviledged to work with her for many summers before she died as
a result of a fall from a horse. She was over 100 years old at the time.
This is a summary of her extraordinary story.

No problem, Cass. Anytime :)  It's nice to see someone riding Kacey, the way he should be ridden ;-) LOL.  I had a "satisfying" time.  I wouldn't call it "super fun", especially since I missed most of the revelry.  But it was really awesome to see everyone else enjoying themselves. :D

Look in the mirror. Imagine that every time you look there your image is fading. The day you disappear the mirror will shatter from your power. Become the cutting sword.

I am more sorry than I can say. I lost my familiar/cat, Pyewacket, 5 years ago, and I've yet to meet his equal. Still, I'm grateful that I had him as long as I did. I hope you come to feel the same way about your best canine bud.
