| Rescued horse!!! |
| Dameral Reni June 1983 - February 2006 Well, it is with a very heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of my wonderful Half Arabian mare, Dameral. I won't say that I owned Dameral, but, maybe I would say that we were partners. Partners for eleven years. She was my very first horse and she gave it all back to me. I had always loved horses as a child, to the point of distraction to everyone around me. But, unfortunately, asan adult, I had lost my nerve riding them, until this beautiful mare came along. If it weren't for her, I don't think that I would ever have been able to ride with confidence again. She could be ridden by me with just a halter and a lead rope. It was her preferred way of being ridden. No bits or saddles or anything fancy. Even though I tried to make her into a pampered horse, she would have none of that foo fooey stuff! She taught me the real way to be a 'horse person'!! Thank goodness that I did breed her once and she gave me a wonderful gelding that has much of her wonderful qualities and in this way, she can be with me for a while longer. But, in her passing, she left me devastated, and no horse will be able to live up to her example for me. She has left very large hoof prints on my heart that won't ever be able to be filled. |

| And, 'Fancy' in June 2007 at our house, after some TLC. |
| 'Fancy' and my big fat boy, 'Ssteel'. She even looks good next to him! |
| And, 'Fancy' being ridden by me. After riding her, I was all the sadder for her..............she's broke to the 9's. How could someone treat her that way and almost starve her to death? |
