One of the greatest experiences of my lif was raising a colt for two years. He was huge, but a gentle giant who had human contact daily. When it was time to ride him, I was able to just climb up & ride. I just loved that guy.

I couldn't afford to keep him, and ended up donating him to a group called Equest, which match horses with handicapped kids. They assigned Beamer to a 12 yr old paraplegic girl who is training to actually jump with him! I get pics occasionally, one of her in her wheelchair with a soapy sponge bathing him brings tears to my eyes.... I know I made the right decision.

That was a really great thing to do. We couldn't afford ours after a while, too. Being the savage that I am, I was never happier in my childhood than when I was out riding on the trails through the woods... ahhhh... fun times.

But what you did was a hell of a thing... :0)
