Six years ago

Posted on July 10, 2016 by MeRaw

Sunday 10th July

Google photos wanted to reliably inform me this morning, that on this date, six years ago, we had come to watch you at your open day gymkhana.

A set of photos that we had taken on that happy, sunny day……

You were twenty-five years old, and had had so much fun, showcasing your horse riding skills, competitiveness, and ability to work in a team. You gained a number of rosettes for your efforts and were quietly pleased that you had done so well. As someone who shunned the limelight, you stood for applause and photographs in front of many parents and helpers.

We were so very proud of you.

Love you forever my horse riding Angel.

Missing you each and every day.

Sunny, but windy at the beach today

Some of your winning rosettes
