of owning a very special horse. I had a horse in high school, but she wasn't the 'special' one. I went to college then joined the Air Force. Then, after months of searching, I found him - the special one. He was an 8 year old bay Arabian gelding. To me he was spectacularly gorgeous but the best thing about him was his personality - and how FUN he was to ride! He was affectionate, spirited, willing and extremely well behaved. We shared thousands of hours on the trails. We had great adventures. We saw amazing sights. We had 26 incredible, wonderful years together. I retired him when he turned 31 but we still hung out together. Then on Jan. 6, Pharoh was out in his pasture and another horse kicked him - broke his leg. Just like that, he was gone. He was 34 and still very healthy. I probably won't get another horse, I'm nearly 50 and out of shape. But mostly because I'll never find another Pharoh. I just wanted to share him with people who would know how I feel. Thanks for listening.
