On behalf of myself, Chelsea, Paul and Tyler I would like to share my deepest condolences. We have been so blessed to know the Hands since we began riding at Bayview so many years ago, later at the shows and then lucky enough to re-connect at Heather MacInnis Showjumping.
It is rare that people like us get to meet a truly whole family in spirit and deeds. The quiet wisdom, the rare smile and the concern for others being paramount. Brian always showed his loving self while watching Sarah or Jo ride and show. He watched I think in awe and of course, always had a hug and treat ready at the end. We enjoyed getting to know Brian as part of horse family and his loss is very real to us. His live was so well lived with grace, humour and devotion for his incredible family.
I know Brian is watching over, is out of pain supporting and loving from afar. One thing is clear though, each and every one of you have a little of him with you that will guide you and carry you forward. Keep that in your heart.
We are forever blessed to have known him though each of you.
Lynn, Paul, Chelsea and Tyler
