By Jan Westmark-Allan It’s easy for me to remember where I was on 9/11 – the barn. We heard the news that we were being attacked and we gathered around a small TV in the tack room and watched, overwhelmed with sadness and fear. While it is a day that brings back so many memories, each year since that terrible day I have felt a sense of honor and pride just to be able to remember that day and say something as simple as “Never Forget.” While I will Never Forget 9/11, I will also Never Forget the feelings I had as a child when I saw the Budweiser Clydesdales – to sum it up the word was “awe.” I had a pony at the time, but these horses were huge, breathtaking, beautiful, regal and memorable.
