JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2012



Susan Schneider

Casper and I have been at Kenlyn for a little over two years. We followed some friends over from The Urban Farm at Stapleton, and before that we were at Big R Stables with Laurice Davis, who also used to board at Kenlyn. I know some of you remember her. I live near Lowry, so it's the perfect location, and I love being able to get onto the Sand Creek trails without going through a neighborhood, or worse.

Casper is a 16-year-old Foundation Quarter Horse, born on a cattle ranch in Texas. He became a header in team roping and apparently was very popular with the cowboys. He's happy now to go out on the trail with me and loves to "meet and greet" others who ride by him in the 20 runs. I've had him for over six years. I had two horses when I was a teenager and did the Little Britches thing and all the little rodeos around Colorado. Then when I went to college, I thought I couldn't have a horse until I got old and had time for one. So I got old and now I have a horse again. I know now that I didn't have to wait, but it just makes me appreciate him more.

I'm a retired court reporter working part-time as a proofreader for some friends who aren't lucky enough to retire yet but who are lucky enough to be younger, faster, prettier, etc., so they keep me busier than I ever thought I would be at this time in my life. I'm still waiting for that magical day when I'm truly retired and I can spend all the time I want to with Casper. Hopefully, I'll still be able to climb up on him and he'll still be able to carry me around.



Susan with Casper.

The horses paw and prance and neigh, Fillies and colts like kittens play, And dance and toss their rippled manes Shining and soft as silken skins;...

A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.

There are only two emotions that belong in the saddle; one is a sense of humor and the other is patience.
