May 19 – Obituary: Dorothy Lucille Horky
Dottie and I shared many trail rides over the years. She was an excellent horse woman, terrific neighbor, fantastic friend and insightful mentor. I loved hearing her stories whether we were riding or just hanging out at the farm. I felt privileged to see her train Bitsy. I even remember watching her work Pepper! Some of my fondest memories are riding with Dottie thru farm fields and trails as she shared her wisdom. We were kindred spirits and with our birthdays one day apart, we never lost touch even in the busiest seasons of our lives. Dottie gave me a winter blanket years ago that I still use on my bed every cold night. Its a symbol from our friendship that I treasure.
