A Note from Cornelia
Rutledge Amina
Dogs and horses have always had a special place in my heart, much like my father’s. Brian, Benny, and Mini have also earned a place there. From the moment I met them, after surviving a near-fatal equestrian accident in 2022, my riding days came to an end. But Benny and Mini extended their full hearts and affection to me.
Brian and I have been bound together since those early days, and our wedding included both dogs as participants. They continue to be at the heart of our lives. Brian’s commitment to their well-being and mine has been a beautiful and rewarding part of my journey. The courage, devotion, and spiritual nature they bring to my life are priceless. Their commitment to me has shaped a life filled with love and care, not only for us but for our community as well.
With love,
