We lost a courageous friend and fellow Winchester Widow on October 2, 2010.  

She was our Parade Director and fearless leader.  Here is her story:

 

“I was born and raised in Butte, Montana, the land of a million hay stacks.  Montana lays claim to fame as being the inventor of the first “beaver slides”, a mechanism for stacking hay.  Ranch life was challenging considering there is nine months of winter and three months of bad weather that the “Big Sky” state is known for.  However, life was always warm and joyous when I had horses by my side.  I got my first horse when I was six years old and I have had an active interest in horses and their care ever since. A few years ago I moved to San Diego and started a successful horse-care business.  Now I am able to enjoy horses every day of the year while assisting others to reap in the rewards of horse ownership.”
