Our daughter was one of the first riders at SpiritHorse. Mr. Fletcher´s love for children and adults was evident to anyone that visited the ranch. He was a great man with a legacy that will live on. Godspeed, Mr. Charles.

So very said to hear of his passing, I shared many memories of Charles through working at spirit horse for upwards of 3-4 years. Attended many camps and helped with anything/everything I could. I always loved hearing charles´ knowledge and learning from him. May he test in peace, sending condolences to the family!
