Growing up you couldn't get me off my horse's back. Forty years later, I still miss her.

This story has touched me deeply, moved me beyonnd words.....

It makes me feel so sad, and you are such a beautiful person not only to photograph this amazing horse, but the story of what this wonderful horse meant to everyone around him.

THANK YOU Sandy for sharing Big City's story, and love to you and your family.....

Your stories and imagery are always so meaningful Sandy, even when sad, and today is no different. Yet this STILL has a sense of beauty and happiness to it. We can see many things of joy here, such as your love of family, your sister's pleasure in helping others, and even the story within (of the autistic child enjoying a ride).

I know that such events in life hurt, but be proud of the fact that you (and your entire family, it seems!) are constantly LIVING in ways that are inspirational and happy and joyful. As always, thank you for sharing YOUR slices of life Sandy.

Glenda & I hope you find solace, in the smiles you give people every single day.
