wow, last nite on the news, some people in our sheriffs posse and riding club, we have been to their home many times, were shot and killed in their bed by their oldest son. They played the 911 call and he was giggling and saying he had killed them both for molesting his grandchildren (he is 18 and has no children) and that he had one bullet left and if his brother came home he was going to shoot him too. My gosh! They live near me. And then they have the neighbor on tv, all upset and blabbering and saying "we never lock our doors out here! we have expensive saddles and bridles and all in the shed and we have NEVER locked it" then she says she will take care of the horses til it is figured out what will become of them. One horse just got over a bout with cancer to the tune of a huge vet bill, a great horse, rides and drives. He has an appaloosa and a walker. It is very sad and just weird!
Our public defnder in this district is also a horse friend, and he made a public announcement that the son had been committed several times to the state mental hospital and was off his medication. Just never know who you are riding with! Janice -- courage is being scared to death...and saddling up anyway--John Wayne
