Casey's Final Years in Videos

 NC Matheny just happened to fall in love with an orphan foal that would  define his life. First named "Trouble", then officially "Hard Way to  Go", finally "Casey", this Tennessee Walking Horse was destined to bring  joy and happiness. Through dramatic scenarios, funny anecdotes, and  seasons of hope, the meager foal would grow to become a beautiful  stallion facing extraordinary odds while inspiring everyone who meets  him. The author intertwines his missionary work in Honduras with his  love for horses. Twenty-two years of nurturing and friendship create an  incredible testimony to God’s power and the thrills of horsemanship. 

 Casey liked to be outside in the snow if the temperatures were above  20ﾟ. I would put his blankets on him in the warmest part of the day so  he could have much-needed outside time. 

 How do you answer the age-old question of “How do you live your dream”?  Well, this is my answer. God granted my wish and the fulfillment of my  dream. My house is just 130' from Casey's house with camera systems and  baby monitors so I could hear and see his every move. I could be there  at his side in 30 seconds. But it was not the same as being right there  living every heartbeat. 

 Every day it was Casey's job to open the Dutch door of his barn to go  outside. I would unlatch the door, knock on it, and say, "This is your  job, the rest is up to you." He would push the top part of the Dutch  door open with his nose, then with his chest, push the bottom part of  the door open. Once it was open enough to get his nose behind it, he  could walk outside. I only showed him a couple of times and then he had  it down to a science.
