Time for a little inspiration.

This woman, Stacy Westfall is one of the most amazing trainers (and riders) I’ve ever seen.

And the horse she’s riding – Roxy – gives me chills.

Take a peek at this clip from the Ellen Show.

I’m betting you’ll feel the same. I can’t hold back the tears. Every darn time I watch Stacy and Roxy, I tear up.

In case you can’t tell from the video, she’s riding bareback and Roxy has no bridle . The bond between these two is thrilling.

A true example of the human-animal bond.

I’ve just learned that Roxy died on February 8, 2012.

Rest in peace sweet horse. You will be missed.
