In case you don't know Jeanetta, she is one of the toughest & kindest
ladies you could ever meet.  The "Sturgeon/Front Range Exceptional
Equestrians Courage Award" at the Rocky Mountain Ride is given in her
honor.  I spoke with her today (Thursday 3/18), and she is going to lose
part of her (left?) hand, but her spirit is as strong as usual.  She was
helping a friend with a youngster.  She has already been through more in
her life than most could handle, yet she ... endures.

Please, if you would, even if you don't know her personally, take a minute
and call her or email (jetta4trails@yahoo.com) her with some words of
encouragement, and keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  Thanks.
Brad.
