my heavy heart...

I am sad, I lost a friend. More than a friend--an inspiration.

This book would not have been written without UC Ringmaster. He told me to paint his portrait and to write his story, and the stories of his friends and ancestors.

Who am I to say 'no' to a two-time World Champion?

Thanks, Ring. I will miss our visits, so much.


 A Wish for an Old Friend
by Helen Scanlon

I wish you sunbeams in your mane
I wish you wind under your hooves

I wish on a sparkling star tonight
for wishes that come true.
