Heather's first horse was released from this world today. He was quite a character. He always wanted to be first in the race around the show ring. He hated horse trailers with ramps but leaped onto stock trailers. He pushed every button, invented a few but loved Heather very much. He eventually did what she asked and then some. Silver had a most amazing floating trot that just came out after years of riding him. Heather found the right leg pressure and away he went.
Heather's words: R.I.P. Silver you were an amazing horse. Taught me a lot of lessons, not just in dealing with horses but life in general. You taught me to pick my battles, find patients even when you think you have none left, look for the little wins in your day, how to loose gracefully, and to love even when your mad. 33 years is a long time and I know you will be remembered by more then just me. You were always the entertaining "crazy white horse" but I will miss you my friend…
Heather and Silver rode at Neden Arabians with Michele Currie. A great group of girls also rode there with their horses. They had the nickname of the "Currie Girls" at the Arabian horse shows. An amazing group really, probably unique in any situation. They were very supportive of each other even as they completed against each other. As these girls, women now, learned of Silver's passing all sent their condolences and I discovered they had all lost their first loves … so heres to all of you and your beautiful mounts
