Rest in Peace my beloved Tobee. They say the good die young, and you were the best. The best at leaping into my arms, the best at making me smile, and the best at being closest to my heart. You will never ever be forgotten!

"Nothing is more sacred than the bond between horse and rider. No other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also. But that can never be laid to rest, [indeed] it is not meant to be." - Stephanie M. Thorn It must be true, only the good die young, because you were the best. I miss you all the time Lady Bey.

Our dear friend and guardian, Windy Knoll Mistral +/, passed away naturally and peacefully in his retirement pasture with his best buddies on October 6, 2011. Mistral was in his 30th year and full of his usual love and generosity of spirit. In his 24 years with us, Mistral was our “go-to” horse for endurance rides, pleasure rides, parade color guards, state park patrols and personal therapy sessions in rough times. He cheerfully carried us on 4,660 endurance miles during his 18 year career, winning several multi-day BC's, earning two Tevis buckles, and placing 10th lightweight in the AERC western region in 1993. He participated in the 1989, 1990, 2001 and 2004 cross country XP rides and completed his last multi-day ride at Grand Canyon in 2005 as a 23 year old. We were honored to be his partners. Thank you Mistral. You will always be in our hearts. Anne Sands and Russ Faure-Brac
