While I did have a blind horse who went sidesaddle and loved to jump, that was Diamond O' Galway, the blind Connemara (C.W. Anderson used him as the inspiration for his last book). Isaac--Der Freischutz--was indeed my sidesaddle partner for many years. We still miss him. Also, the horse in the photo shown here (which should be credited to Pleasure Prints) is not Isaac, although he does resemble Isaac to a considerable degree. This horse is an Irish hunter named Houghton's Ruby ("Harry"), owned by Roger Philpot of Kineton, Warwickshire--I had the pleasure of showing Harry several summers in England.

I was totally stressed out when I began reading your story. By the end of your story, the stress was totally gone as I reminisced about my own adventures with two horses. I was about 10 years old or so, and loved these beautiful animals. One of the horses was called "Blanca" (White in Spanish). She was an Apaloosa and I remembered how fast she could run. The funny thing was that she was a "Barn Horse". She could only run fast if she was returning to the barn. If headed back to the barn, she could brings tears to your eyes she would run so fast. When leaving the barn, it was quite a challenge for a boy of ten to control such a hefty animal. Thank you for bringing back the memories!
