Adrian

Adrian was a Chestnut TB cross gelding.  Born on 1/1/84, he
came to us in January of 2003.  Adrian spent only one short
year in retirement before leaving us peacefully on Feb.3, 2004.
 In his last years before retirement, he was lucky to fall into
the hands of one of the kindest, capable horsewoman I have
met.  Adrian was calm and deliberate in his manner and his long
hair coat down to his hoofs gave him a comical appearance.
 He will always be remembered fondly by those who knew him
and he will always have a special place here on the farm.
 
Mister Ed
"Ed" was a 16.1h Chestnut Quarter/TB gelding.  As near as can be determined, he was born in 1978 and was with us for six years. He was very happy during that time and left wonderful friends behind. It is not the same without him, the group was initially disjointed. I never noticed that Ed was the boss; but quietly he must have been. We miss him dearly. He was always the one waiting at feeding time. On the morning of April 10, 2009, Good Friday, Ed was ill. I think his internal clock knew that this was his time, he kept nudging me during the night as if to let me know. I tried to dismiss his intentions, because it was not what I wanted to hear. In the early morning on April 11, Ed left us. The farm will not be the same without him. Thank you Sarah for sharing Ed.
