Rifka was my once in a lifetime horse. She had the smoothest gaits of any Arabian I've ever ridden. You could drink water on her at the walk, jog and lope and never spill a drop! She was my best friend and confidant through some of the roughest times of my life. She became suddenly ill the morning of February 6th, 2002. Upon the vets examination it was determined she had a tumor the size of a grapefruit on her spleen. At her age (almost 20) surgery was not an option. To end her suffering, we laid her to rest that afternoon. She will be forever missed.
