Memories

As a late winter storm approaches, I sit safely indoors and reminisce about horses who've gone before me.


Above is my first horse, Hobie, a buckskin Quarter Horse gelding. (1974 - 1989.)



Here in the snow of northern Pensylvania is Echo, a grey 3/4 Arabian mare. (1972 - 1987)




And finally is Padron's Sasha. An Arabian mare of the finest pure blood. Sasha left me too soon. (1987 - 2008.)


To all these, and Mike (Maika) of whom I have written before, I salute you, my big-hearted friends. Your loyalty will never be forgotten.

Yes, that is me riding Hobie and Sasha.
Postcard material?
Oh no, I am much too modest.
