To my h...I posted this to my facebook page today... To my horsey Friends near Apache Junction/Queen Creek area...A friend from work Curtis Baughman randomly contacted me asking if I knew of a farrier for a gentleman he had met... and sent me this guy's story..(Thank you Curtis and your Mom, for helping him and your kindness)...and I was like...Oh my goodness...I KNOW him!!!! Does anyone remember the story of (story below)..they were on the News..he and his Partner Sue rode through several years ago on their horses ...they had an issue with their pack horse, he was down.. and they had to leave their packs and gear behind somewhere in the mountains near Young, AZ with help of my Parents Suzanne Thomas Le Fevre and M dee LeFevre who he still remembers fondly they sent my Son Bryan Burgener and Nephew John Perlingiero out to retrieve the gear for them, On the way back Bryan and John rolled the side by side several times both ending up the hospital with a concussion..I had forgotten about this and the first thing he asked was how they were doing...that he had told the story of them often....Well, he is back continuing his journey, says he's running a little late because Big John (his horse) wanted to go east first... He lost his precious Sue to Cancer in July...he promised her he'd continue their ride over 5000 miles and counting...and would tell his story in a book.. for her. You can't miss him..he is standing is Apache Junction with his horse holding a sign looking for work...he may need a place to stay for a few days as he doesn't want to wear out the welcome where he is at ...he is not looking for a handout at all and says, " don't want to be thought of as a Bum!!"...but does appreciate the good folks he had met along his journey...I am going to help him get his horse shod...( Mike Hill You are a SAINT and the best Farrier for helping him!!!!!) and offered to let him stay with us, but he prefers to be where he can find work....Jack of all trades and willing to work for a place to lay his head and stable his horse for a few days while passing through....I am proud to have met this man and believe in his story, It's just him now...and a beautiful relationship he has developed with Big John his horse throughout the many miles traveled together..I can't wait to read his story someday..I am pretty sure the love of his life Sue is still riding with him in spirit...I love how life comes back full circle and I believe in Dreams....Please share and If you would like to Contact Art to offer assistance 575-519-9589<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448965248697874238.post-35995343111370716272016-01-02T19:45:30.157-07:002016-01-02T19:45:30.157-07:00Well it seems Art and Sue have made in into Apache...Well it seems Art and Sue have made in into Apache Junction, Az.

They stopped across the street from our business and told our Neighbors their names and how long they had been on the road. I took pictures and ran in and googled their names and found this story. Thanks for such a lovely story! So glad I got to see them and read this story. God Bless Them and their beautiful children!

Board member, Jerry Jordan, responded to a call from the police that there was a couple on horseback needing a place to shelter for a couple of nights. He helped them set up camp at the Club grounds last night and ferried them to and from the laundromat and WalMart this morning. Art and Sue are planning to atay another night and then head out when the rain abates. It is our privilege to extend the hospitality of our facility to such travelers.<br />Gay O'Rourke, Treasurer, Chanute Bit & Spur Saddle ClubAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448965248697874238.post-14003854029429038372012-06-25T10:37:30.382-06:002012-06-25T10:37:30.382-06:00Saturday, 5/26/12: While returning on my BMW motor...Saturday, 5/26/12: While returning on my BMW motorcycle from Bullhead City, AZ, to my home near New Orleans, I had the pleasure of meeting Art and Sue. They had just finished unpacking the horses behind the store and post office that is Gladstone, NM, in 45-55 mph southerly winds. Sue told me they were delaying feeding the horses some slabs of hay because the strong winds would blow it all away before the horses could eat it! The good vibes and love that emanate from Art and Sue are inescapable. My reputation as a motorcycle adventurer is dwarfed by their adventures and choice of mobility.<br />Skip Harrison, Mandeville, LAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448965248697874238.post-26480056417794298682012-04-11T11:24:39.025-06:002012-04-11T11:24:39.025-06:00I work for the Chamber of Commerce in Albuquerque ...I work for the Chamber of Commerce in Albuquerque ( Audrey P) and I just spoke to Art they are due in ABQ in 4 days. trying to help find someone who can help them with a place to stay and hay and water for the horses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448965248697874238.post-40430008457442869632011-04-07T19:43:05.281-06:002011-04-07T19:43:05.281-06:00Wow.
