A few words from her Photographer Barbara Livingston..
This album was so tough to put together...
I'll never forget photographing this large, kind lady. People who didn't see the beauty in her face didn't look closely. Her brilliant, large eyes were so trusting and content, reflecting the love she felt from those around her. Her actions were proud and comfortable, her manner quiet..and all wrapped in a most beautiful oversized package.
A girlfriend who worked with her called Pine Island "Big Moose" in the affectionate way possible. I thought of her as a gentle giant. Everyone at her barn adored her and showered her with affection - which she happily accepted. While her long ears swept forward for peppermints, they also pricked at any gesture of kindness.
It's amazing to think of what she accomplished this year - and, to think, she was still learning about the game. She was such a shooting star.
We are heartsick for the Phipps' family, Claiborne Farm's staff and the McGaughey crew.
