Barbara, you have deepest sympathy for your loss. I will always remember the one evening while you were giving me a riding lesson on Midnight, and I could not get him into a canter, and Bob hopped on behind me and got him going. Those memories will always remain dear to me. Grief can be hard. May you find comfort in other special memories.
