My Dear Possum,

Ten years ago I was ready to have a horse in my life again and so began my search. I looked at many, but nothing hit home to being a good match for me until I walked out into this dirt field. I saw this gigantic Appaloosa just standing by himself looking at me as if to say, "What took you so long, I have been waiting forever.". That was it , I took you home and the love affair started.

You were amazing, your big, lumbering canter was heavenly and you did all I asked and more! We rode through the pounding surf of the ocean, up the rocky cliffs of mountains, through the beautiful rolling meadows, wading through the Patapsco and Shenandoah rivers and sometimes right on the streets of town for the local Christmas parades. You were always the brave one of the bunch, sometimes having to go first so the other horses on the ride would gain their courage from you. My big brave spotted boy. You were such a gentle giant for the physically and mentally challenged children who got so much joy just by having known you. I always thought it was funny that you would try to sneak away to the tall grassy adjoining field when you thought I wasn't looking as if I wouldn't notice this 16.2 hand 1500 lb horse tiptoeing away.

You are my main squeeze and I miss you terribly. I know you were welcomed through the gates of heaven with a, "Well done, faithful Servant". I will miss and love you forever, my faithful friend.

Pat
