God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses.

Remembering...

Rest in Peace, Friends

 

Each person and horse made a difference to someone.

It is in this spirit that all are remembered.

 

In the words of Mark Twain, ""The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."

 

 In an effort to prevent incorrect assumptions of death, every effort is made on these pages to substantiate the information with documentation.  Your  contributions are welcome with source information.
