CMHR wants to thank Lonnie and Sarah Whitworth

[Gini]

In April or May I received an e-mail from Sarah Whitworth asking if CMHR would like to have some items that they had. She explained their little guy Mouse had passed away suddenly and they had no need for these things. Since it was really soon after Mouse’s passing I asked that she think really long and hard about this and not to do things in haste. I also told her that CMHR would gladly accept her donation if she decided to let it all go.

The middle of June I received an e-mail asking me if CMHR was still interested. My DH and son traveled to Oregon and met with these wonderful people to pick up the donation. Just some of the items they brought home were the mini chuck wagon, 3 miniature budweiser harnesses, one beautiful regular driving harness, the Jerald cart that Streaker here on the forum has purchased. The training cart that will be on this auction and quite a few more items. CMHR board got together with separate monies and asked Kim, our Crabby Chicken on the forum to paint a portrait of Mouse for them. Lonnie and Sarah also at the same time lost a large draft horse Lonnie used to pull a larger Chuck wagon. His name was Bucky. We wanted to do something special for them so here is the portrait Kim did for the board.

The picture is of Mouse and Bucky their Draft. The plate that goes along with it is not finished yet but I think I'm going to send it later. I'm excited for them to receive this. What do you all think?

Beautiful work. So nice to see that people in this world still give and think of others and like our mothers always told us this comes back to everyone ten fold.

Wow!!! What a beautiful portrait of some truly gorgeous animals. I know from experience that this is a gift that will be treasured forever. I have two portraits by Kim, and have a third on order. When I ordered my last one, she told me she was working on a special commission. Guess it was this one!

CMHR: love for horses AND humans!

I remember seeing this!

What a great way to memorialize their two horses and return a wonderful favor!

Kim is a rare treasure, we are lucky to know her and consider her and her family great friends.

Of course, it goes without saying that Chances is a wonderful resource, and how thoughtful of you to give this to Lonnie and family.

Oh Bless your little cotton socks for doing this for these wonderful people, the picture is beautiful and they will treasure it always

I always say what goes around comes around and when you do it with love in your heart you will always get it back.
