FAREWELL MY DEAREST CONCHITA Where do I start my dear little girl………………… I guess it would be how terribly I miss you. My heart aches so much with your absence. There’s so much I miss about you. Your big brown eyes with that never ending sparkle. Your beautiful chestnut coloring that would glow with golden highlights as the sun rays beat down on you. I miss your little attitudes when you wanted that extra attention. I even miss your head bumping when you wanted to be petted……….. or loved on…………….. or just wanted to let me know you were there. Conchita, you just loved to be loved on and you gave so much love back to anyone that you met. My darling little girl, you have touched many lives during your time on this earth. I just wish it could have been longer. You have left such incredible memories for me to cherish for a lifetime. You managed to find a very special place in my life and in my heart. That place is now filled with sadness and despair. I know you’ll always be there with me in spirit. Conchita, you were a source of companionship, comfort, happiness, and of unconditional love. As a lesson horse you were loved by all who rode you. Watching you teach each student how to ride has been such a joy. I was always so delighted to watch your response as the students would groom you. You were patience with each student as they learned to groom. You obviously enjoyed the attention and the grooming. There were many times you nearly fell asleep during the process. Thank you for you calmness and patience that you gave each student. You have touched the hearts of many and those you have touched so dearly will have such wonderful memories to cherish. I miss you so much but I know you’re happy, healthy, and content. You have so many old friends to run through green pastures with and you making new ones since you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Good bye my dear Conchita. I love and miss you.
