We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who donated items to the silent auction at Brasada for “Equestrians Helping Equestrians.”

A special thank you and note of appreciation to Sharon Morris-Reade and Kathy Gentry for their labor of love. Because of their inspiration and the loving support of all our friends and fellow cowboys and cowgirls, our financial burdens have been lightened and our hearts forever lifted.

We are blessed beyond words by all the generous support we’ve received.

With love and appreciation,

Patty Zerbe and Janie Voderberg
