Stealing from a sick horse

For six years, my horses and I made a living together.  Riding lessons, birthday parties, school functions, field trips, weddings, movies – we did it all.  My black Tennessee Walker, Percy and my gray Missouri Fox Trotter, Marlon, gave thousands of kids their first horseback rides.
