Message from Cory about Bows

As you may know, we lost Bows this month to severe colic. Below Cory relates what Bows meant to her and Mill Creek.

-- Bows --
1993 - 2012
I found Bows at a cowboy auction in Bakersfield. That was in 1997 and he was four years old.  He was the perfect size and had wonderful conformation. I was told by a cowboy he had bought him in New Mexico on an Indian Reservation. He said the teenaged boys were roping goats off of him. I paid $750 and headed home with Bows.  Bows took to jumping right away and loved his new job.  He went to many events and went on to win a Junior Training Level Championship at Ram Tap. It is impossible to count the numbers of children and adults Bows taught over the years.  I had great respect for Bows. He always gave 100% for every rider and never said no.
I will always remember him as one of the very special ones.

P.S. We will be having a 30th Birthday Party for LUCKY in June this year!!
