Ginny April 30, 1998 - November 9, 2004 It is a very rare and wonderful event to find the "perfect" horse that is just right for you. Ginny was such a horse. I was lucky to be present at her birth and at the time I needed to tell her I loved her and said goodbye. Ginny had been battling bouts of gas colic for years and in the back of my mind, somewhere deeply hidden, I knew I would lose her to this dreaded fate one day - I did, but it just came too soon. Andy and I were both trying to do all we could to save her, but she was suffering so much that there was no rhyme or reason to let her to continue to suffer. Our vet was so very diligent in trying to save Ginny as well, but when the time came for the decision to be made, she helped us both in the acceptance of "it is time". Ginny was one of the brightest stars I have known - she could do lateral work along side my golf cart on the days that it was too difficult for me to walk - she happily played the piano, fetched toys and even learned how to put a basketball through a hoop. I had just got on her this year for the first time and had barely begun our saddle work - but I at least had the moment and it is one I will cherish forever. It is still very difficult for me to talk about her, but she is deserving of the honor I give her here. I am comforted in knowing she is with so many others who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. She is truly missed by us. Darcy and Andy Donahue
