| Valley Girl I still remember the first time I saw her, so beautiful and proud. Running in the pasture her foal at her side. Iʼd wanted a horse since I was a little girl and here I was in my mid thirties, starring at her in awe. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. Days latter I talked her owner into selling her and the foal to me. It was love at first sight and I just knew it was right. I spent days in the barn brushing her and earning her trust. She was the love of my life, my first horse, my dream come true. She was so patient with me on her back and a good mother to the foal at her side. She was the color of a bright copper penny and shined in the sun. Moved like an angel so smooth on the run. She had my heart from that first moment on and was my best friend until she was gone. She gave me four beautiful foals, each like their Mom so beautiful and loving, so magical and strong. She could sense when I was sad and would come to me to let me hug her neck for however long it took to make me feel better. She was my best friend and losing her has left a empty space in my heart. I know sheʼs in heaven, in a better place but I will miss her forever. Heart and sole she will always be the most beautiful horse I have ever known. To my beautiful Valley Girl, you have my heart forever. June 6, 2007 Written by Sanya Brown Previous Owner of Valley Loved by Sanya, Korey and Ryan Brown |
