Mica


 1998-2024
Mica





She was gentle as all get out and a had speed and stamina. She could sit and spin out from underneath you if you didn't know what you were doing. [A reining fool!]

But most of all her talents were her temperament and willingness to go anywhere and do anything with grace and confidence.

For most of her life, she was my husband's mule. Though I did ride her in the last few years. It is odd that since she was our only grey mule, the other gals ostracized her often.

We will miss you Mica with your coarse mix of braying and whinnies in the mornings and your gentle demeanor.

Run those rich pastures with Fred, Badger, and Cheyanne, I know they are waiting for you over that bridge.

Mica always stood out to me, although I never met her. Love her name. Sorry I missed her passing. I've been wondering about Mica. I am sure saying goodbye wasn't easy. Never is.

Your beautiful photos of Mica are a treasure <3

Thanks. Rich was so sorry to see her fade away this past year. However we have such fond memories of her. One of the best was the last ride Rich ever took was on her with the grand kids after his stroke.
