I used to ride in horse shows all the time, my old friend was always there and always won all of the western pleasure classes. One class A show she won all day long. My friends little daughter born deaf was there with her horse and never even got a nod all day long. The Jack Benny class came up (over 39) I rode my friends horse and painted my face purple, dressed up like an idiot and put my entry # on upside down. No one knew who I was, in the final line up my best friend was beside me. She said--Odie, is that you--I said shhhh. Well lo and behold I beat my old pal Leah. We had such good laughs, I even had my chest stuffed with dish towels with roosters on them, some guy hit on me on my way back to the trailer and I pulled out my rooster towels. Chooks rule. Here's to Leah, one hell of a horse woman. clink!! May she get a turn on a unicorn or Pegasus!!

I bow my head in silent prayer to a grand horse women who is no longer here.
My days in the ring,are all long gone, but I too, have seen my share of Leah's & I tip my hat to them.
My prayer is sent.

This sounds like a very dear friend, indeed. It's always the ones you have fun with that you miss the most, and my heart and thoughts are with you. You've been blessed to have such a friend.

And can you just see her now on that winged Pegasus, in the prime of her life, having the time of her life?
When I dream of my mother in what I consider "prophetic dreams" she is always as she was at the age of 39. Maybe heaven considers that age our "ideal". So maybe your "slip-up" about her age, wasn't a slip at all but certain knowledge?
