Heaven got a Great Horse Today...

and I Lost a Friend...
'Blue Zippo'
4/09/87 - 12/14/11
 
Zippo was 4 when he entered my life as a scared and scarred individual with major trust issues after many owners and abuse.  He quickly became trusting, and willing, and a partner.  He was my friend for over 20 years, and he went through many life changes with me.  We went through job changes together and relocating to several different homes.  From Barrel racing and Playdays to Team Penning and cattle work to teaching kids to ride, along with Parades, Ponying colts, and Baby-Sitting colts.  He accepted every thing I asked him to do with a BIG Heart and a warm and friendly whinny that said ...
"I am your Friend and I Love You too". 
Zippo was the most loyal and completely cooperative horse I've ever owned. 
He will be missed but never forgotten.
