Dear Friends,
For as long as I can remember, I've loved a horse and a horse show.
After Daddy died when I was nine, horses provided my safe, happy place. Wherever they were, I could find peace and strength. I was never happier than at a horse show.
Thank God for my Aunt Carolyn,
who shared her horses with me. She and I still share a bond that defies explanation to non-horse lovers.
Growing up, we didn't have fancy, fine horses. And heaven knows we didn't have expensive horses on her school teacher's salary. But that didn't matter.
I can remember sitting up late at night at those early horse shows and watching the "big" horse trainers work their incredible animals. I was mesmerized. I grew up and married one of those trainers. I've teased, admittedly only half-heartedly, that I married Cash to get his horses.
If you've never been to a horse show, you owe it to yourself to come. There is something so deeply-stirring watching a 1,000-pound animal majestically command the attention of hundreds of admirers. You'll be electrified. You'll be mesmerized. And you might just be hooked on this sport we call horse showing.
