Mani: a dream horse for Laurie, a true champion for all.
We do grieve, as a family and along with a wide community of horse lovers, this week at the sudden loss of GS Manitou+/.
Mani and Laurie's story of their most recent national achievements brought many smiles last Friday in our local paper, the Bonner County Daily Bee.

This week, it's difficult to hold back the tears at this loss with many layers associated with so many shining moments this animal provided for Laurie and his multitude of admirers.
To Seabiscuit author, Laura Hillenbrand: here's another wonderful story to tell!
