Fred, you were the answer to many of Mark’s dreams. You put a smile on his face. He swelled with pride when you entered an arena or produced babies. You created untold challenges for Kevin. Even though your blood was blue, you resembled a range stallion more than a top-notch show horse. Mark didn’t care. You were ours.
For nearly 20 years you had a place of honor in the pasture by the house. I’ve missed watching you play with the dogs.
A year ago you helped send Mark off in style.
I hope you both are enjoying deep green grass with no mosquitoes! Rest in peace, Fred. You were a part of the family.
Hickota (aka Fred): March 21, 1999 – September 4, 2022
I can see that Fred was a much loved member of your family. My condolences for your loss. May he and Mark ride the trails beyond forever. Greetings to Judy.
