Tribute to Stormy
I would like to pay a tribute
to my dearly beloved horse, Stormy Day, who passed on last Father's Day.
The loss was somewhat mellowed by getting a new horse on the same day, but
it still hurts to talk about her.
I rode her from the time I
was old enough to ride, she was a great babysitter. When I was four years
old, I rode her by myself 24 miles into the back country of western Montana
for a pack trip.
Stormy was my best friend and I confided so much to her, even though
she was the hardest horse to catch. She loved me so much!
The night before
she died I told her that I was getting a new horse and that she could retire.
I think that she decided that her job was done in this world by not having
to take care of me anymore.
