I loved going through this amazing journey! Thank you both for making it possible. As good as it is in pictures, I cannot even imagine what it must be like in person.

That triggered a memory I haven't thought of in a while. My best horse ever would jump every shadow he saw on the ground. Happened many times when I didn't see it coming...surprise, surprise!
