What a horrible thing to happen to Blair and for you to have to experience that. I am sad that your parents wouldn't support you in the purchase of a horse. I was lucky in the fact that my parents were accepting of me owning my own...although they still have my 2 in their backyard while they patiently wait for our barn to be completed. <br />There is no doubt you are a stronger person for what you have been through, and it is obvious you are appreciative of everything you have. Wow, what an amazing story.buckponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856143564768689766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-63620464120722755182007-02-27T22:33:00.000-05:002007-02-27T22:33:00.000-05:00Somewhere in time's own spaceThere must be some sw...Somewhere in time's own space<BR/>There must be some sweet pastured place<BR/>Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow<BR/>Some paradise where horses go,<BR/>For by the love that guides my pen<BR/>I know great horses live again.<BR/><BR/>-- Stanley Harrisoncraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388636774837622008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-44305211013105284692007-02-24T22:43:00.000-05:002007-02-24T22:43:00.000-05:00Even though it was a terrible experience for many ...Even though it was a terrible experience for many people, I really believe that everything happens for a reason. Although it's very hard for me to find a good reason why she had to die. But, like a pebble splashing in water, little ripples turn into bigger ones, so I'll never know how her disappearance affected other events in the world. <BR/><BR/>She was quite a lady, and I'm glad I had the chance to know her. And the honor of letting her live on in my memories. <BR/><BR/>You just keep reaching for your rose garlands. It took me twenty years, but I finally realized that dream. <BR/><BR/>However, I'd give mine up to have her back.Dressage Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741448152235721941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-62480249638972825612007-02-24T22:19:00.000-05:002007-02-24T22:19:00.000-05:00In the beginning, I thought the black roses repres...In the beginning, I thought the black roses represented all the hard stuff that happens along the way when you're trying to earn the red ones. But I knew immediately when I read the lines that Blair had disappeared what the black ones signified. I'm sorry that you had to go through that.<BR/><BR/>I think it's amazing though how someone or something can make that big an impact on our lives. She sure had a big impact on yours.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your national championships!! I'm still working on mine.....but someday.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.com
