Misty took mefaithfully through the trails, we even blazed some of them on Gabriola ourselves. Andwith best friends Zorro, Rusty, Reba, Romeo, Tammy, Tai, Bart and Benz.Misty always brought me home if I was lost... day or night. She took me through myfirst gymkhanas, schooling shows, the VIEX (she then decided she didn’t want to ride intrailers or stand in stalls and pose for people anymore… so we went for walks, jogsand gallops through the bush, through the sand... and swimming in our favouriteocean spots off Gabriola, El Verano or False Narrows. We did backyard jumping,dressage and cross country, and gave riding lessons and trail rides to others. There areso many moments and times we shared together. She took me out through therainforest around sacred petroglyphs, watching wildlife, long rides alone, meetingfriends, and leading horse friends along for the ride. She helped me mature andbecome the person I am. She was in my care for over half of her life, and I was in hercare for over half of mine. She may have threw me off a few times but I’m sure Ideserved it! She was so kind and gentle with timid beginners or unsure kids... sheknew the difference between someone vulnerable and gentle, some overconfidencethat needed a little testing, or the bullies that she wanted nothing to do with. She wasthe leader of our herd up until that evening last year. On November 30th, 2007, when Iarrived at the stable she was down in the snow, apparently for three hours, she wasdehydrated and hungry... we tried to get her off the ground, and she tried so hard toget up. I put armfuls of hay around and under her, I put her blankets and saddle padsaround her and all over her to try to keep her warm.Waiting for the kind vet to arrive I believe she listened to me thank her for as much as Icould express and apologize for all of my human ignorances... she died with her headin my arms, her shoulders on my lap, her cheek against mine and it was for real when Isay tears ran down her cheek to match mine before the vet helped her out of her pain.It was a horribly sad thing that she died that way, I can only be thankful I was there forher, the vet was so kind. Her ‘herd’ was also there... she had a full and fun life, my bestteacher ever... she will be remembered by many on Gabriola and all over VancouverIsland. Family, friends, acquaintances and strangers remember her graceful wisdom,beauty and soul. I am so thankful to have been able to be near him (HER SON ISLAND BREEZE) as well... as I writethis from Ontario; starting a new chapter of my life in the horse industry, so that I cancome back and take care of Misty’s ‘herd’ once again.Misty is remembered by her human family, Galaxy Jade and Chris Alford. Thank youMisty for showing us your presence. I will always remember you and I will always loveyou, rest in peace.The day that you slipped away was the day I found things won’t ever be the same. Oh, Ihope you can hear me, I remember you so clearly. I miss you, I miss you so bad. I hopeyou can hear me, I remember it clearly, the day you slipped away.Now as I write this, looking forward to another new years day, I look up to see her eyesshining from a photo of us at the beach and I am inspired. I am thankful for so manychanges. I hope to hear and see changes from my island of birth. I hope to see peopletalking and helping each other as a community - no matter what. I hope to see peoplecaring enough to ask instead of ‘it’s not my problem’ as if that kind of thinking is afavour to a person in crisis or need of help/support. I hope to see more people helpingeach other emotionally, physically, as well as financially, I hope to see honesty andintegrity instead of a society of people hiding from each other and/or covering up foreach other. There are so many people I would wish to see apologizing to another, Iwould wish to see protection from all kinds of abuse, for all kinds of people… anyonein the community would have unlimited help whether it’s physical, monetary,addiction, family problems, career issues, relationships, emotions; I would see an endto the ignorant petty gossiping and rumours, I would see people of all ages, culturesand statures communicating openly, I would see people seeing and protecting,promoting the beauty of the life we are given, really seeing, not just looking. Notwondering how they could have destroyed, could destroy, help destroy or allow suchthings to be destroyed. I would see the love that I have read about in books likeGreenpeace, Tao of Equus, The Man Who Listens to Horses, Celestine Prophecy… and Iwould see people always looking to help someone else before themselves… I wouldsee the proverbial village raising the child.As People we can change. Let’s try ourselves first, instead of thinking we can change others.Remember sayings like ‘think globally, act locally’? I’d love to see us doing it as muchas we say it. I look forward to visiting the Commons as it reveals the vision I was shownby a dedicated Gabriolan. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one, I hopeone day you will join us… and the world will be as one. It doesn’t necessarily matterwhat your faith is, what matters is that you have faith.HeadlinesColumnist Kerry Sorrenti's Website With express permission in writing, The Gabriola Sounder publication may consent to the copying of advertising and editorial material with the explicit understanding that the source (Sounder/Date) is added to the body of work produced.
