View all 22 ReflectionsRoger and his sister were good friends of ours. Roger had been riding that same horse for years and yes he was an excellent rider. He worked with my husband for a number of years. It was a shock to hear of the accident and my husband was able to visit him before he died. He is very fondly remembered.
