A Marine. An American Hero. She was Reckless

"One hoof in front of the other, slow and steady, the little mare struggles up the steep grade. Her amber coat drenched in sweat, white lather foaming wherever leather touched her body....the rock-strewn path explodes before her..."

As a Vietnam era veteran and equine 'worshipper' (I am keeper, steward to 9 magnificent equine beings) Reckless has forever captured a piece of my soul. Based on my 40 years 'in' equines I will state that ONLY a mare (e.g., the magnificent Yin life-force) could do what she did. Semper Fidelis now and FOREVER my beloved Reckless!

Hi Darrell,

I have to agree with you! As the owner of a once-in-a-lifetime mare, I could see how only a mare could be the kind of hero Reckless was. I've owned and loved geldings and worked with stallions but there is just something about a mare. Indeed very special. I wrote the book "Follow Me Friend" about her. Thank you for your service to this country and for being a steward to nine of our fine equine friends. Cheryl
