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.

So sad to hear Roxy died…I can’t imagine what a loss that is for Stacy. Thanks for sharing it with us, Jean.

Awesome—-mother would have loved to see something like this. Have you seen the performing horse show -Cavalara- (spelling) now appearing in Tacoma. Awesome. For sure , borth you and Rick would enjoy.
Sorry to hear about losing Roxey —-guess her father died weeks before the show.

Cavalia —correct spelling. Not the usual dress code when working with horses. More like a ballett performance. Of course – all I’ve seen are the daily commercials on TV
