Lacy became ours in the spring of 1995. That fall I went off to a Horse 
Training and Management course to big dreams and even bigger surprises. 
In my second semester I encountered 3 very different and life changing 
horses -  a mustang fresh off the range, a grey filly with a talent for 
bucking and spinning, and last but not least a bay filly that bucked the 
whole semester. (I believe today  I may have the tools to understand 
them.) 

In the course of our passing these 3 horses taught me the value of 
a truly great teacher (they did not have one at this school, besides the 
horses themselves) and what hitting the dirt could do to a body and 
mind. I will spare you the scary details of my experience but will say I 
came home with 2 hyper-extended knees, a sprained ankle and a large fear 
of an animal I had spent my whole life living for.

It was about mid-spring 1996 that the doctor gave me the okay to try to 
ride again. I truly was not sure I could but knew I had to try. This is 
where Lacy became a huge part of the picture. She with her foal at her 
side, stood still as a statue as I, shaking and truly afraid, crawled 
into the saddle. I prayed she would be quiet for me. As the days wore on 
I shook less and she moved more, never faster then I could handle, she 
was ever so careful with me. If it were not for her I may not have 
ridden another day in my life. What I have found in the years that have 
passed is that she passes this gift on to her foals.

Now you ask yourself WHY are you selling her??? Because out there 
somewhere there is another scared soul that she can mend. We have too 
many horses. Not allowing a truly precious mare her due time in 
brushing, and affection. The affection only a child can give. We wish 
her to have a new home, one with more time to shower her with the love 
she so deserves.
