As I mentioned, when I moved to Colorado I moved with my best friend Beau. But when I brought him, I was aware that he was old for a horse and was coming to the end of his life. I never knew his actual age, but I put him at 30 – 32.  And maybe it could be said in that bringing him I might have shortened his life, knowing that he had never been in the cold or snow or a heat, such as Colorado’s. 

However, I had to bring him because I know that without my companionship and care, he probably would not have survived anyhow. His last year was full of love, comfort and care, as was his whole life.


When Beau passed, I had a huge emptiness in my life. After a few months of grieving, I started to volunteer. at a Miracle Therapeutic Riding Cent as volunteer. Within the year I became one of the programs instructors where I along with the program, provide a safe, quality program that serves special needs persons of all ages, disabilities and conditions, as they learned caring and riding horse.

 

Currently,  I am  in the process of creating an after-school program for children at Carlisle Equestrian Center.
