Thanks everyone. Thanks to Angie who encouraged me to do the 50, but put my
horse first, always. I was reading a copy of AHW today with coverage of the
AERC championships. One of the winners said how every time she brought up
her horse's name the next four days, she started to cry. I had to laugh
because I have been doing the same thing. When that little mare gave me her
heart out on the trail, I think it was the purest of heart gifts I have ever
received in all my life.
