BIG BILL 1986-2008




One of our "babies" died this morning.

Big Bill was one of our quarter horses.

The biggest and tallest one we had.

He was also the sweetest.

Whenever there was a trail ride, ALL of the kids would fight over who would get to ride him.

We called him our "Babysitter".

He and Chappo are the first horses a child will ride when they are in the beginning stages of becoming a "Cowboy".

You couldn't make him run with one of those kids, even if you "fired off a shot-gun".

Horses like him are hard to find.

We will never be able to replace him......not that we would ever want to.

Good-bye, Big Bill.

We Love You.


Peace.
