Thanks for your kind words on dear Silver. She will be missed for sure. Her buddy horse is doing fine in her absence. She is on her way to South Florida to ride in some type or route that a cattle drive took many years ago. A 6 day ride so she will be happy to be in sunny warm Florida for a week with other horse’s! <BR/><BR/>Cosmo, Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-45788499496047526792009-02-20T19:37:00.000-06:002009-02-20T19:37:00.000-06:00Sorry to hear about Silver.
