It's an inevitable truth that the only thing constant in life is change. Calvin is a youth show horse, which means his life's work is to take care of young riders as they learn the art of showing horses. Because Calvin is so good at his job he has been blessed to have good homes. As Calvin patiently teaches his young riders they begin to grow into experienced horsemen. In time his riders need to move on to horses that are more challenging, giving them a chance to build their skills on the foundation of confidence that was Calvin's gift to them. Then it is Calvin's time to move on to help his next young rider.
Recently, Calvin has made such a move to teach a new rider, but as a final farewell the mother of his former rider had a bracelet made from a few of his tail hairs to commemorate the time spent together as horse and rider. I was only given the instructions "match the copper colours in his coat". Below is the resulting bracelet.
