A dream come true.
Our family has had to fight for years to make this happen, too many hurdles to even explain. Something my grandparents started in the 1970s, their dream, to put up a pasture on this land for their horses, to build a porch on their house and watch the horses from their home. So their dream became ours, and as a family, 4 generations fought each hurdle together.
After many years, it's finally done and our only wish was that they (Bud, Ma & my Mom) could've seen it when they were still here with us. Today marks 8 years since we lost Bud, I hope he was on the porch with Aunt Cindy and I this morning enjoying the view. It's everything they ever wanted and more.
Thank you to my husband Mike, who without him, this wouldn't have happened. Buds dreams were always his too, they started this together, digging posts and clearing a little bit when they could, so finishing this without Bud is bittersweet for him I know. Bud would be so proud of you, and likely be dragging you out for ice cream to celebrate since I know everytime you ran "errands" together you were really up at DBs getting ice cream and dinner.
Thank you to our barn family that put in countless hours over the years to help us clear this land a little bit at a time. Putting in countless posts & fencing. Chris, Staff, Carolynn, Kristin & Jake, above and beyond doesn't even begin to describe it, thank you ❤️
Aunt Cindy and I celebrated with a bottle of wine, all of it lol. We are just left feeling truly grateful to our family, friends and to these horses, who are to us, breath taking.
