Don’t cry for the Horses that life has set free…

They were ours as a gift but never to keep

As they close their eyes now forever to sleep.

Look up into Heaven. You will see them above

The horses we lost, the horses we loved.

Do you hear that soft nicker close to your ear?

Don’t cry for the horses, love the ones that are here.

Gwydson  *Bask Grandson

1/16/76 – 10/26/11

 

Elegance, beauty, disposition, talent, versatility and gentleness unequaled in any stallion, this was Gwydson.  This profound loss leaves a void in our life but Gwyd gave us with wonderful babies that our lesson program could not be without.  He leaves memories of his amazing show career, of his unbelievable personality – almost human at times – and of the wonderful Arabian stallion who was above and beyond all else our friend and shall live in our hearts forever.

 

“Nerd” passed away the night of May 9th.  Nerd was one of those horses who was comically misbehaved – you couldn’t get mad at him because you were laughing so hard.   Good Night old man...

 

Margea - April 1974 - February 2011

Old age finally got the best of this kind mare - she was 37 and still playing like a filly.  She was the sweetest, most trustworthy horse we've ever known.

Wrinkles – 1998-April 2010 and Snickers 1997 - July 2010

They were the best pair of barn cats we've ever had

 

Bo Diddley – 2002-January 2010

What a wonderful guy… Bo will always be dearly missed… 

 

Willowbend’s Gywd Amira Gwyn –

She was one of the favorite school horses – almost a bit too fun to ride a jump!  We miss her very much, she can never be replaced.
