A Tribute to Blaze

Some of you may or may not know, I'm trying to sell Blaze, my horse. I have owned her for 12 years, I can't believe it's been that long. Especially since Kate was born, I just don't have the time to devote to her that she deserves. She should be with someone who can get her back in the show ring winning more trophies and ribbons!

I have someone coming out tomorrow to pick her up. She doesn't want to buy Blaze herself, but she wants to put some work back into Blaze, and then try to sell her. I'm not sure how long she'll keep her, but if she can't end up selling her, then Blaze will come back to me. Which is fine with me. She told me that if I have a show record for Blaze that would help, well, I don't. The closest thing I could get was digging up all of her trophies and ribbons to take a picture of her winnings. The thing is... I KNOW I have one more box of ribbons - all of my best ribbons were/are in this box. And I could swear I have another box of trophies too. Oh well, I found all I could. This is what I could find:

There are lots of good memories represented in this image. Lots of fun over the years. I really do miss showing. I think if I still lived in Minnesota we'd probably still be showing, but here in Texas I just don't know any horse people and it's not fun to go do that stuff alone. Oh well. That phase of my life is over. At least for now... Don't tell Jeff but I think it would be fun to get Kate into showing someday. :)

Don't forget that big silver platter Blaze won that I'm keeping for you!
