We couldn’t even get through filming his departure video without choking up, he had burrowed into our hearts, and saying good bye came with real emotion…tears that caught us off guard and more left us more raw than we expected.  While he …came to us, as so many do, discarded and rejected, his self-worth would not be crushed. He carried a dignity that he deserved, and we were honored to restore. He quickly let us know that he had many good years left, and more to give, and most likely something yet to teach. We white knuckled every single one of the 3,000  miles that he traveled from his temporary home at Red Bucket Ranch…to his forever home with Brianna. It is very likely, that he will be her one “horse of a lifetime” that some of us are lucky enough to experience…..as for Grande…he is safely home.
