I love working with you, Ms. Ada…. You are a huge reason why I do what I do. Your passion and love for horses melted onto me. You’re such a huge inspiration and such a great mentor.
You’ve done things in the horse industry and touched so many people that you have no idea about. Your one of the GOATS. I’m so blessed to know you and collaborate with you and be one of those that pass down your knowledge. Numbers never lie.
I honor you, Ms. Ada, and thank you for being in my life.
