Dear Cyndy and Frake,

     As Arielle cleans out her locker and is ready to embark on a new part of her life, we wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how important you have been in shaping her personality and life.
     Twelve years ago, we entrusted a little girl to you and now at 18 years old, you have been largely responsible for helping us send her off to college as a responsible, well adjusted, determined, happy young women.
     Over the years you have taught her compassion for both humans and horses. The life lesson of learning to deal with victory and adversity in a gracious and humble manner has been instilled through your guidance and nurturing.
     Just being around the barn and horses has taught her to maintain a positive attitude, be patient, and to persevere.
     Sometimes we think you don’t realize the positive effect you have on your students. Your teachings, friendship and mentoring are invaluable in turning young kids into happy, valuable adults. Don’t stop with these positive efforts; you are great role models.
     The amount of time and money we have spent with you and Saddle Rowe will never equal the effort you put into making Arielle the person she is today. We think (or know) we can all be proud of her as she heads off to college. For this we owe you both a great big Thank You. We are forever grateful for all that you did.

Sincerely,

Jay and Lorraine
