Default Napa woman, 90, gets wish granted, rides horse for the first time

Wasn't sure where to post this heartwarming story, so I hope it's ok here.

Napa woman, 90, gets wish granted, rides horse for the first time

Quote:
It took 90 years for Thea Murphy to get on a horse, but about 30 seconds to fall in love.

“I’ll be sore tomorrow, but it doesn’t matter. It’ll make me remember Katy,” a beaming Murphy said Friday afternoon at a Petaluma horse arena as she gazed upon the palomino mare that provided Murphy’s first horseback ride. “Look at her. She’s so beautiful. And she listens to me!”
