It had been several years since I had seen Wil. I went to visit my sister (Regina - Wil's Mom) when she had the Dean forrest Stables. After a short visit with Regina, I asked where Wil was. she told me that he was out checking on some of the riders and would be back real soon.
As I stepped out of the office I caught a glimps of a rider coming up pretty fast and seemed to be in a hurry. As this rider got closer I noticed it was a young boy dressed in a cowboy outfit complete with two pistols. I found this funny and then noticed that it was my nephew Wil! He was in a hurry to get back and then noticed me standing there looking at him. As he walked past me he said "Hi, Uncle Donnie," and ran into the office to talk to Regina. I was stunned that my nephew was such an accomplished horseman and even looked the part.
After spending a week there I got to see Wil in action, but only once in full Cowboy gear. I will always treasuire this memory of my nephew and how he carried himself so well when most would have just laughed . . .
Thank you for this memory Wil . . .
