Thanks for capturing the moments of this rare ride!

Eclipse, a purebred Arabian of Crabbet & Polish bloodlines, was born at Reeds Arabians,
in Duncan, BC in April 1977. He was bought as a yearling by my dad as my future
  riding horse. We competed successfully in Saddle Seat Equitation, English Pleasure,
Native Costume & Show Hack. Pictured below making the Top Twenty cut
at the Canadian Nationals in Saddle Seat Equitation.

Eclipse had a good life life, spending his retirement foal-sitting,
hanging out with his buddy Mystere, and being a lawn mower.
He crossed over the rainbow bridge, onto greener pastures, 
under a full moon with me and his pal Mystere by his side.
