RE: [RC] Grandpas - Sheila A. Walsh

Hi Jonni,

 

My grandpa was able to make anything out of wood.  It was his passion/hobby.  He wasn’t a horseman, though; a gentle soul.  I learned the deal about my horse comes first from reading every one of Will James books, beginning with Smoky, when I was a pre-teen and could practice on my Shetland.  Now I have a collection of first editions.  I didn’t have one kid that caught the same fever about horsemanship; though they all can ride well.  *sigh*

My grandfather was the fix it type, loved to plant a garden, and although he did not ride, he taught me a few things about my pony when I was a child. One thing he told me, that I have never forgotten, and have tried to always do was "After a ride, always take care of your pony (horse) first, before taking care of yourself". I have never forgot that, and no matter how hungry, tired, or what ever I am when done, I always make sure my horses needs are taken care of first.
