When I was younger, I had the privilege to work with Romanov, a gorgeous, young, black dressage stallion with the most wonderful temperament. Stallions can easily develop a bad reputation, especially when they have been exposed to negligent or bad handling. But Romanov taught me just how loving, caring and sensitive stallions can be. His sweet face and kind eyes somehow always found me when I was having a bad day, and found a way to make me feel better. In him I found a kindred spirit, a twin soul, with whom I could ride through life’s worst moments. He taught me how to keep my head up high and never let the bad days affect my outlook on life. While he was taken from this world much too early, he inspired me to achieve my dreams.

And now, through Vonamor, his memory will live on, as will my love for him.
