I\u2019d like to think I was Summer\u2019s favorite person at Windermere.\u00a0 But\u00a0 If I went to Horse Flats and my wife Mary was there?\u00a0\u00a0 I was a nice guy that she knew loved her, but when Mary came to the gate, Summer would saunter (okay, a quick saunter) straight across the pasture to yeah, Mary. Then she would put her head down and almost bury it in Mary\u2019s chest and just kind of hold. \u00a0\u00a0She truly loved Mary and she made no apologies.\u00a0 So when Ivy texted us the other day to let us know that Summer had passed away, we hurt.<\/p>\n

All the horses at the ranch have their own way and style of being Windermere horses.\u00a0 Prince gives of his immense sense of caring for people.\u00a0 Ali Pashka has a way of letting you know that you really do have freedom in your choices in your life.<\/p>\n

And Summer\u2019s quality, strength manifested in a quiet sweet way that taught me that real strength doesn\u2019t come from the supposed power of the ego, but from the self assurance of the pure heart.\u00a0 She endured the flies of summer and the rains of winter and managed to transcend the elements with a sense of innocence mixed with well, a touch of \u2018mood\u2019 now and then.<\/p>\n

Mary took riding lessons at Windermere a while back and got to learn the techniques of riding on Summer\u2019s back.\u00a0 And Mary was so grateful for Summer\u2019s sweet gentle strength and patience throughout the whole process.\u00a0 \u201cShe truly is an ambassador for Windermere,\u201d Mary said.<\/p>\n

We were at the ranch last week and of course witnessed the immense caring she always got at the ranch from Lynn and Ivy.\u00a0 The veterinarian that worked with her that last night later remarked how great Summer\u2019s overall health was for a 26 year old horse.\u00a0 It was great to hear such kind words, but I have to say, in her own quiet way, Summer was not only an ambassador for Windermere, but an ambassador for the peace that resides deep within us all.<\/p>\n

So, thank you Summer.\u00a0 We will always be grateful for Windermere and the magic it somehow provides for the \u2018experience\u2019 of peace through its seemingly (?) hand- picked ambassadors of Light, like you.
