God forbid that I should go to any Heaven in which there are no horses.  ~R.B. Cunninghame Graham, letter to Theodore Roosevelt, 1917
He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.
~Author Unknown

No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.  ~Winston Churchill

The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.  ~Arabian Proverb

Husband, Ted's Woodworking shop.  Built by Ted in the flavor of the "Old West"  A great gathering place for friends to stop by and enjoy a fine cigar and perhaps a friendly game of poker!!!   Ted makes many pieces of fine, custom furniture and also specializes in "antique" rocking horses --- true family heirlooms.
Daughter, Heather (age one) getting a start on her riding career on Daddy's first hand/custom made rocking horse--- a wonderful gift on the day of her Christening.

We will miss this wonderful gelding's big beautiful eyes, his friendship and his gentle soul.  Truly a one-of-a-kind horse with so much more than "riding" to offer.  He was always the first horse to "welcome" anyone into the barn ~ his whinney will be missed greatly.

"Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on
and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go
For by the love that guides
my pen
I know great horses live again."
~Stanley Harrison
"The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire."
~Sharon Ralls Lemon
.A horse can lend its rider the speed and strength he or she lacks, but the rider who is wise remembers it is no more than a loan.  ~Pam Brown

Horses - if God made anything more beautiful, he kept it for himself.  ~Author Unknown
