Adding my sincerest condolences to Dublin’s family, friends and many loved ones. Everyone’s posts are so eloquent – a testament to how many lives dublin touched.
LordHelpus, what a great post. Having had a similar experience, I’m sure Dee Dee was with you. Last May, a good friend (my trainer’s wife) died after a horrible battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease. She had spent her last winter in Ocala. Several of us sent our horses down and she came to watch us show every week. When I was a nervous wreck doing the adult hunters at that level for the first time, she was there in the golf cart telling me that my little mare and I belonged there. No matter who else was showing, she came to watch us (she’d known my horse since the day she was born).
At the first horse show we went to after she died, like you, I looked up before I went in for my trips asking for her help. The first weekend I did that, we got a 2nd and two 3rds in our four classes – she rode with me every step of the way. Now as I walk into the ring, I always look up to tell her that I still need her. If you keep looking up and asking, Dee Dee will stay with you. In the midst of much sadness, it’s a great way to keep her, and other loved ones, alive in our hearts.
here I go being struck typeless again 
So sorry for dublin and her family.
So sorry to hear of this news~ Godspeed and peace to you Dublin~ and to your family and all who love you. May God wrap you safely in His arms and take away your pain…

What to say… where to begin,
I know that everyone feels your loss David, but really as I sit her I don’t see you having lost as much as we all think. You lost a love but gained a guardian angel. You gained a host of people here willing to jump in front of buses for you all in the name of Dublin.
You have the peace we all seek and the introspection that yields a chance at seeing what the rest of life truly has to offer.
I don’t mean to sound as if I am not appreciative of this devastating loss. But I see a strong man who knows his truest love is free and will never leave you, either in spirit or on wings.
So I am sorry for your loss, but happy to have been allowed in to see even a slight bit part of the life of Dublin.

Dave - please know our hearts are with you and the rest of Dee Dee’s loved ones.
Now, Dee Dee, go find my Joey, hop on him, and ride away. He will take good care of you.
God bless you Dublin. I don’t know what else to say.
Eileen, your post made me cry.
I have never been so touched as I am by these posts. I have never shed a tear wrt any post until now. I pray for peace for DeeDee and David. And Hunterlicious, you’ve got it right when you write: “Maybe God just needed someone to exercise his horses, and CactusKate needed someone to help her out”
Love and peace to everyone in DeeDee’s family.

All I can say is that I’m sorry, and my thoughts are with all of Dublin’s family.
My heart sank when I saw that “dublin” had posted…Although I’m certain that she is now free from pain, full of joy and surrounded by horses, I’m still saddened by our loss and for Dave and her family.
except I’m so very sorry.
My prayers are with Dublins family and friends tonight.
Rest in peace Dublin.
I wasn’t posting on this board when Dublin was, so our paths never really crossed (but I’ve been reading this thread and crying too - I’m sorry I didn’t get to know her) - but thought I would add here that many of the pictures that are missing from that thread are posted on Dublin’s picture site - the link is in her profile and I’ve posted it below.

Oh no, Dublin.
I had not heard that Dublin (as I knew her) has left us until just now. Although we never met offline, she was a wonderful person whose class and humor was evident in all of her posts. I greatly enjoyed conversations with her on the BB and will miss reading her name and viewing her incredible photos.
We will miss you Dublin, but will feel better that you are watching over all us and our horses.
Bronte, please take care of our friend Dublin.

That sounds like a show name. Aren’t a bunch of folks looking for one now? 
Imagine the loff you’ll always be sharing as you explain you horse’s name to everyone!
Thinking of you Dee Dee and wishing you well on your next trip at the Cosmic Classic Horse Show. (I understand VHV is judging!)
