November 2006

 

16th November
We said "Good Bye" to a Top Class Pony
*** RIP WALREDDON PLAYMATE 1989 - 2006 ***

 

We had owed him for just over 12 years. He's suffered with arthritis for the last couple of years and slight Cushing's. So the heart braking decision was made but I know a right one.

So I say Good Bye.
But - What a super career Harry had, Winning many ribbons and Championships at all the Big show though out his life. My proudest moment with him was when he won at the P(UK) Winter Championship and went on to stand RESERVE SUPREME IN HAND IN SHOW!
No mean feet for a 133cm Gelding.

He did me proud on every occasion, In Hand, Ridden and SJ.

 

 

6th November
Very sad times here at Cherrytop Stud!
It is with deep regret that we announce the sad death of;

 Miss Roselea Jean Sherer.
Rose was an Excellent horse woman and a good friend and will be very sadly missed by her family, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy, by us and all her other friends.

She was my little sister, maybe not by blood but our friendship was so.

*** Ride on Rose ***

 

You will be very missed here at Cherrytop Stud, Your 2nd home.
