Since that first fund-raising ride, several Dawn Weber Handicapped Rides have been held. Dawn insists that the money be donated to local handicap riding programs. She's learned to live independently and wants to help others.
If you ever ride with Dawn, you'll soon notice how her abilities outshine her disabilities. Riding near the front of the Gap ride, you'll hear her call, "All clear Bob?" Then you'll see her and Admiral sailing through the air on gossamer wings as the pair jumps a downed tree. The jump will be punctuated with an "Eeeee haw!" and a fist held high.
This story is dedicated to Dawn's late father, Carl Weber, her biggest fan. For information on the One Horse Gap Ride, call (618) 683-RIDE, or visit www.onehorsegap.com. For more information on Randy Bird custom saddles, call (903) 513-6108, or visit www.randylbird.com.
