Thank you! Poor lady, she's retired now. She developed an incurable unsoundness, and couldn't be ridden at anything but a walk or trot.

I kept her on a friend's pasture about an hour away from our house until that became unworkable, but I have been able to find her a home with the Special Olympics.

She worked for them before when she was in active training -- I would hunt her or show her on the weekends and she would carry the little kids around on two nights a week. It's amazing how a horse knows the difference between going out to gallop and jump, and carrying little kids with medical issues gently around a ring. But she always knows.

I'm SO glad we found her a spot, I was worried sick about her.
