Barb was such a sweet soul. Her love of horses helped me get my first start at her barn,
We went horse shopping together and I bought Buffy. She made owing a horse affordable and fun. I shall always remember our pizza parties after the hay was put up for the year. We remained friends many years afterwards. Love and miss you.
We gave many years of good memories..Rest in Peace.
