The World lost a little known ray of sunshine this week. Reta was a horse customer of mine for a while. Not nearly long enough and we lost touch until recently. I only have great memories of her. She was the first person that I talked openly about being gay. She told me she knew nobody chose to be gay because "no sane person would choose that tough a life on purpose" She was painfully honest. Sometimes so that it put me in my place which I am sure was her intent. I remember how serious she was about being a good horsewoman. Never shied away from putting in the time to get her patterns correct, or being prepared to show. What I remember most, and what I think her special gifts were are her big boisterous laugh, and how proud she was of her Son Clint and her Husband Terry. I can't begin to imagine how sad they are, but I sincerely hope they know just how much they were loved.
