I am so sorry to read about Gary's passing. Although we didn't stay in touch, he was a huge part of my children's experience with and love of horses. My sympathy to the entire family.

What the heck ol buddy.. we rode a bunch of em didn't we? A little mare we called 'The Lounge Lizard' , a hundred others including one of Freddy Wagner's that bucked me off and knocked the pony to his knees with you on him, a kinship we couldn't have built any other way. Rest in peace friend, and our heartfelt condolences to Kelly, Tami and your entire family.

I am so sad to hear of Gary's passing. Lots of childhood memories at Dry Creek. He tried and ALMOST succeeded saving me from a young horse that had run off. Not sure how he ran as fast at the horse, but he did! He was also there the night my Dad had a terrible accident with a training colt that left him with a bloody face. I was so relieved to see him come to help me! Tami and Kelly I am so sorry your loss. I will always remember him fondly!
