Aribba my love,
I wanted a horse since I was just a little girl. Finally, when I was 28 years old, you
came into my life. I will never forget the first time I laid my eyes on you. You had
the most beautiful eyes. Big and bold but yet full of kindness and love. I brought you
home and we began our 20 year friendship. Through those 20 years, we shared
years and years of trail rides, riding lessons, swimming, camping and one of the most
memorable moments was when you gave birth to your son "Kelsadd". That was a
moment I will cherish as long as I cherish your memory. When you became so sick
with a severe colic, I hauled you to the Veterinary School of Medicine and watched
you go through colic surgery. You spent nearly six months recovering and did it with
such strength and dignity. I know now, you did it for me! I trusted you with my life
and you trusted me with yours. As you started to age, the arthritis took over your
legs. I told you when you were just a young mare that I would never let you suffer.
On November 20, 2004 I sent you on your way to Rainbow Bridge. I know you are
running and frolicing in those lush green fields with the wind blowing in your face.
No more pain in those legs.
Aribba, thankyou for being my best friend for 20 years. Your memory and name
will live on and on through this farms name "ARIBBA ACRES". Be free and happy
and know that I will always love you and miss you!
Your loving friend and Mom
