Tracy, does it have to be a MSAR horse?  I can ask the nearest US Pony Club chapter if there is not a MSAR horse/owner team available.  A teen or older member would have a well-trained mount and the group is very service-oriented. See USPC.org to learn more about them if you wish.  Let me know if I can make an inquiry on your behalf and I am also very sorry for your loss and for her family.  I did not see the date/time for her service. We are a long way from Cedar Rapids in Kansas City or I would bring one of our horses.

Sincerely, Dana Snyder, Mill Creek Pony Club parent, OPMSAR volunteer/member

Sorry to hear of your loss. I don't know anyone in Cedar Rapids but do
know some folks in Des Moines area that MIGHT be willing to assit, if you
have no alternatives.

Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a
game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and,
once it has done so, she will have to accept that her life will be
radically changed - Ralph Waldo Emerson
