Dude

Two days ago my best friend lost her best friend Dude. Upon checking her paddock and about to move his fence she found him passed on. When Jude rang me all I could do was cry with her. Dude was one in a million. He wasn't normal ......now I am into a whole different dimention of riding to Jude .... she's not into english like me, her Dude was a western superstar. He was different. You wouldn't meet a more affectionate animal. He was just 4 and had had an amazing season out showing. He had never put a foot wrong and to be honest was one of those animals that just becomes a best friend. The vet did an autopsy to discover a ruptured diaphram ......it seems too bizzare for words. We had only ridden out together a few days before.

Jude my heart goes out to you at this moment .......He will be forever with you. He has taken your riding to a new level and will be forever a spirit that dances your arena with you.xxxx
