Its been a very very long time but I do remember Mr. Boultinghouse and showing horses at his facilities. He would kid me about riding an Appaloosa and always called him an 'old plow horse'.
My family and I send our condolences, you are in our thoughts and prayers. It has been one year as of July 7th since we lost my father Calvin Walk. We know its not easy when we loose someone we love.
Happy trails to a brave soldier and horseman! May he trod in patures ever so green.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ron and I can't be with you in person this week, but we are thinking of all of you and especially of Phyllis. We know that this has been a very difficult time, but also that Phil and Tom have amazing kids and that Phyllis will get lots of love from them and her brother and sisters. May Tom rest in peace and all of you take very good care of one another.
With love,
Brenda and Ron Bricker
