Can I ask you to do something for me? I promise it willnt take that long.
Can you go to the person who taught you to ride, or taught you to love your horses, love your dogs, love the world from the perspective of which you perceive it. Doesn't matter if it's someone you haven't talked to in decades, or someone you see every day.
Please tell them, thank you. Thank you for all those life lessons learned at 10 o'clock at night feeding your animals. Thank you for all the drives going to rodeos, shows, events. Thank you for being in the crowd wether we placed first or last. Thank you for teaching me that animal still has a heart beat, it's own thoughts, and it still cares about me after I want to loose my temper.
I'd guess you've probably heard it before but truly, always tell the people that you appreciate, or you love, that you love and appreciate them. Someday there will be a day you can't tell them in person.
I love you Mom. You'll always be with me every time I swing a leg over.
Dad you are my greatest influence, I am the luckiest boy alive to have had you both in my life
