I loved visiting with her each evening as we were putting our horses to bed for the night.

Now I have the pleasure of caring for her beautiful, healthy horse, Osti. She is healthy, happy and everyone loves her for all of the smiles she brings to everyone. She´s being ridden and has a very active, happy life. We all miss Lela very much

This message is for Lela's family, from Anne Yates and family.

I enjoyed her so much. Little did I know I´d have her beautiful mare added to my family. She is precious and fits right in. Please know she is being cared for with love and much attention and is a very happy girl. I sense she misses Lela. She is going to be ridden again by my friend Alli who adores her also. Please feel free to visit her anytime. No appointment needed.It was always fun to speak of our rather large families, although she had one more than me. She was a true delight. Anne
