You, Riley and Penny
You are missed daily. The barn is empty without your smile and jokes and horses. You were loved by all of us Dustins, but especially by Riley. Without the great adventure we never would've gotten Ponie back and you and Riley never would've found Penny the stray dog! To this day we still giggle about this. Our deepest sympathies to your entire family.

Chris, you were a wonderful horseman and person, always with a smile and kind word. It was watching you ride Native Costume at a regional show in Syracuse that caused me to want to pursue that fun class! It was a privilege to know you. Hand Gallop on Chris.
