RIP Pie

We had some sad news tonight. Sarah's riding instructor called and said that she had to put down one of her lesson horses.. This horse was very special to Sarah as she rode her a lot.. in fact, she was the horse that Sarah rode for her very first lesson and many more after that. Here is a collection of pictures over the past few years(some have already been on our blog in the past) of Sarah with "Pie". (along with pal Shannon in some) Pie was getting up there in age and had severe arthritis in her neck and she was unbalanced due to it.. therefore, very unsafe to ride and the poor girl was suffering. Rest in peace Pie.
