Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and very dear.  

We were blessed to have Dakota with us for 14 years. Always graceful, so well behaved, a true gentleman, and boss horse to the end. 

Dakota got us back into horses and we were able gave him a great retirement. Dakota is now where the pastures are always green and the sun always shines.

This is Dakota at Eminence Missouri in 2000. That year he was the only horse we took

for the two of us to ride. He took great care of Larry who was relatively inexperienced at the time, and he kept going, even with being ridden almost every day.

Eli - no longer with us, always remembered.

And if I should go before you know that part of me still remains

You will not see me, yet I will be there walking beside you.

You will not touch me.

Yet I will live in your heart and memory always.

Have faith that we will one day walk Hand in Hand in eternity

Until then, live your life for life is good...

And know that I am with you.
