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.
