See you later, Ali!

Ali will soon be leaving us for Alabama. She is almost finished with her University coursework and is moving back home for a few months before returning to Michigan in May to walk for graduation. She stopped by the farm earlier to say goodbye to everyone.

Not only did Ali make great progress with Tiffany (including getting her to half-pass and do flying lead changes), she came out to take care of the horses and barn cat Sassy when we were busy or out of town. I honestly never worried about our animals when they were under Ali's care because she is knowledgeable and most importantly, dependable! We know she is going on to great things, and feel very fortunate that our paths have crossed.

The older I get the more I realize that things happen for a reason. People come into our lives for a reason. And everything in life is a learning experience.  We all learned a lot from Ali, and we are going to miss her!

And I really hope Ali doesn't mind that I swiped this super cute photo from her Facebook page!
