Hello<
I am a 30 year old child who watches saddle club. :) I absolutely love it! Such a sad tragedy to die when you have everything ahead of you. I am 30 and still feel like a child. I have modeled my life after the saddle club. I provide camps for girls and love to be part of "the club" with my young riders. I just now found out about your death but am very familiar with your character from the shows in which I play over and over again. I have felt blue over your death all day. Although, I know you only from a distance, I bless you...may you gallop the green pastures in heaven-Liz
