To me this is a very personal story . After years of riding horses my back gave out and to keep walkingI made the decision to give up riding horses. However, I know the life of a family in horses, I took the song to Allan Caswell and we worked on it one lovely afternoon in the Blue Mountains . He introduced Henry into the picture who passed away in the song. To me Henry is like my back it died too .. and yes I do use my prize ribbons to tie my curtains at home. This is a beautiful but simple country story song … with lovely acoustic guitar accompaniment by Dean Ray.
