Glen's poem was written for Debra Schaefer's memorial. It captures some of her many interests over an involved, interesting life. Below are details that might help to make the poem more meaningful for readers.

Debbie was a championship horse trainer and jumper. She learned to ride on a white pony named White Cloud, and went on to jumping with a stocky pony named Baldie. He would nearly stop coming to a jump, when she would shout "Up, Baldie, UP!" and he would make the jump! Crowds grew when the young lady and her unlikely steed came into the ring. She later owned a palomino, Goldie; and a big bay, Johnnie, along with all the dogs listed. She volunteered for decades at the Buddy Foundation, a no-kill shelter; and her team that raised money for years in the MS walk was dubbed the Tenacious Tigers. These were just a few of the ways my sister did good in the world.
