The Dauphin:
It is a beast for Perseus: He is pure air and fire, and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him: he is indeed a horse: and all other jades you may call beasts.
~Shakespeare~~Henry V, Act III, Scene 7~~
This is from a great friend of mine, Peg, who sent me this picture, knowing how I love both Dolphins and Horses. What better what to picture it? Thank you so much, Peg.
Children are near and Dear to my Heart. Recently I found this site on the internet. It struck a cord in me, as in the last few years, my family has been fighting cancer. It has in many ways been a great experience, the nurses and Doctors that we've met have been great, and our relationships grown more solid. I pray every day that there is a happy ending to our struggle, but I know that God will make it right. I ache to think of children going thru cancer and the treatments that go along with it. And yet, they do, they are so strong. Please click on this banner, and do something if you can.
This young man is Evan, my oldest. As my oldest, it has without doubt been a learning experience, one that I have to say I'm grateful to have had. He has grown into an adult that I'm happy to know. Evan bought his first Truck, 1989 Chevy. And he will be taking it to be a BLM firefighter this coming summer, and then on to college.
Evan has a love for the thrill of motorcycling, and he has done really well in several races. I have videotaped several so he could see his jumps and other scenes, but I"m especially glad I wasn't there the day he seriously broke his leg! We arrived just in time to go the hospital and meet him there. He showed me his strength there, as the break was quite severe keeping him bed ridden for several weeks. He is fine now, months later, and I imagine it won't be long before he races again (Be still my Heart!) though he won't be going Snowboarding this winter, says the Doctor.

This is Katie, my middle child, who has inherited my love for horses. This pic is from a National Horse Show this year in Reno, Nevada. This year at this show, Katie won the Trophy Saddle in the "Under 18" division. She plans to go again next year and again win the "Under 18" trophy saddle, along with the "Open" Division. I think she just might do it! This horse was adopted in the Nevada Mtns as a Wild Mustang. His name is Bev's Doolittle, and his owners asked Katie to train and show him this year, which she started in February thru June. His proud owners were very happy, as he also came home as the Overall Western Pleasure Horse, earning himself a beautiful monogrammed blanket. Bev is looking forward to seeing her horse go again next year and do even more impressive performances.
This is Katie on Dauphin Rabi, my 6 Year Old Arabian Colt. They have done a great job this year, and came home from the County Fair as the "High Point Horse & Rider"
This is my youngest, Joey, at our 1999 County Fair, where he got highpoint in his class on this horse. Joey knows no strangers, and has a true joy for life.
Here is a fairly current pic of me.
