Warmest of congratulations to Kelly and Seth Beaver who welcomed their first child into the word this past Tuesday, December 11th. We featured Kelly here on EN about a year ago as the “Ambitious Amateur” who’s proved that yes, you can work a full time job and make it to the Advanced level. And you can do it well, too. Sadly, Kelly and Seth had to say goodbye too-soon to Kelly’s steed, Sempre Fino, after complications from emergency colic surgery earlier this fall. I know that Kelly is completely broken-hearted that her son will never get to meet her amazing partner “Hobbs”, but in a sweet tribute to her best friend, their son Benjamin Daniel Hobbs Beaver, will always carry a little bit of that heart horse magic with him.
