Zarbo was my old Arabian Gelding. I put in a lot of riding miles with him and learned so much. He was the greatest jumper that I've ever rode and a true pleasure to ride. Lately Zarbo has been very sick from founder (which is a hoof disease that causes the actual hoof bone to rotate and it can either stop rotating or eventually go through their hoof). He's had stabilized but was starting to have problems again and was so bad that he couldn't even get up and stand for long periods. So today we put Zarbo down. Luckily I was able to get the chance to say goodbye and get a lock of his hair.
Love Ya Zarbo
No longer in pain
Your Home Baby!
I hear the wind across the plain
A sound so strong - that calls my name
It's wild like the river - it's warm like the sun
Ya it's here - this is where I belong
Under the starry skies - where eagles have flown
This place is paradise - it's the place I call home
The moon on the mountians
The whisper through the trees
The waves on the water
Let nothing come between this and me
Cuz everything I want - is everthing that's here
And when we're all together - there's nothing to fear
And wherever I wander - the one thing I've learned
It's to here - I will always...always return
