Its hard not too have a big grin on your face when you think of him!
I've got a lot to thank this horse for and his lovely mammy. I'd not had horsey contact for months on end when I first met him, and whilst River was a cuddle monster, you were the one who well and truely stole my heart. Particularly when you stood on R's foot That still makes me laugh.
Those big eyes of yours told our story, and my heart melted.
Christmas 2009 was turned from one of the worst Christmas' ever, to one of the best when your mammy asked me to come visit, you turned my world around for me, and i can't thank you enough. Laid against your bum with a smile across my face, not knowing that there would be a terrible twist of fate. I walked behind as she long reined you and you had a paddy, your mammy spoke calming words to you and off you went again, the direction of your ears spoke volumes of your confidence in her.
I'll always remember you as the big soft, silly, opinionated, dappy, slightly mad ginger nut that you were.
That still makes me laugh.
