My first experience with Robert was as a visitor at STRIDES. He showed me around the facility introducing me to all of the program's horses and proudly spoke of his own riding experiences. Then, when I became an instructor, he provided valuable assistance as a horse leader. He was always ready to help in anyway needed. Robert also spoke often of his sisters and it was so evident that he cared about them very much. My sincere sympathy to all of Robert's family. He will be missed, but always remembered.
