I was lucky to have met Kathy at LAEC when I was covering the dressage freestyle championship. We sat together for a while, chatted, and I even told her a few naughty jokes that made her laugh. 
We corresponded over the phone, and I interviewed her for a possible upcoming book. Why? Because I want to immortalize people like her whose passion for riding and horses is their life’s blood. She was truly a wonderful lady. I play her voice back on my tape recorder, and it’s like she’s still there, still chatting about how her first word as a toddler was “thorse”: Every creature she saw that had four legs was automatically a “thorse”.
She loved her husband. She called him “a saint” for standing by her and keeping her sense of humor and self-worth in check. She enjoyed the BB and everyone here.
My life was enriched by having crossed paths with her, and I’m quite certain we’ll meet again.
