I KNOW I will.
My five...for personal reasons.
1) Thunder. A shetland that I learned to ride on. He was fatter than my legs and a saddle wouldn't fit with the largest girth, but he taught me a lot, and I tried with him...we came to an "understanding". I was nine years old.
2) Arapahoe. A gorgeous Arabian filly. Loved the hugs, and the carrots.
I sure miss her. I was 20.
3) Majorette...an older hack horse that I put my son on in front of me when he was three. Bomb proof. A real sweetie. I was 28.
4) Silver...a gelding off the track that needed a new career after retraining.
He helped me conquer some fear, as did I for him. I was 43.
5) Big Daddy Ray. Runs on 10/10/06 in the 7th at Finger Lakes. 15-1 ml.
He got me into this. Still handsome. Just like me. I'm ageless.
Their memories will always live in my heart.
See you all in heaven.
