We are very saddened to here of Kitty's passing, she was always a gentle and caring person.
We first met Kitty when we boarded our first horse with her and Ray, since my daughter had received her 1st horse as a birthday gift, we knew nothing about horses, they where very helpful in the process.
God Bless and RIP Kitty.
