Toast to the Asshats, Jackie and JP

Thank you, Jackie. Thank you, JP.
Thank you for not knowing anything about horses, yet choosing to purchase four: one lame gelding, two unbroken fillies and a poor, unlucky soul.
Thank you for never listening to Patti, as she tried - over and over - to guide you through horse ownership.
Thank you for driving Patti insane from your ignorance and vanity - prompting her to take Grace and bring him back to the boarding stable where Gem lives.
Thank you for returning my best riding friend!

Once Patti came back about a year ago, we joked around about forming the Mom's Riding Club (MRC). We may be past our showing careers, we may not be lessoning, but we are riding* despite everything children, husbands, work and life throws at us. Between us, we have at least 60 years of riding experience. That has to count for something!

*(And boy, do we ride! We are super cool. Don' t you forget it. I won't let you!)
