Count McChick - The Outstanding Gelding |
|
It is
with great sadness that we report that 'Mickey' to his friends, has been put down. He was 31 years
old & even earned points at an AQHA show at the age of 27.
He was owned & shown by exhibitors from east to west &
earned multiple superiors, several AQHA championships,
countless ROMs & was in the year-end & world show placings
more times than can be counted. He earned more than 50
halter points (long before performance halter) and 1520
AQHA performance points. He taught numerous novice
exhibitors how to ‘let him do his job’ and was still
swapping leads in the pasture last year. He had the first
stall in the barn & was the watch-dog for all coming &
going. He was buried at the farm & he joins so many
others in the skies above. He loved Krispy Kreme donuts &
here is hoping he gets to eat all he wants. |
