Thank you again to all who have offered memories, condolences, sympathies, well -wishes, etc. on the untimely passing of "DW". While we have tried to either "like" or comment or respond to all of them, we are sure that we have missed some. It is not intentional by any means. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of the Morgan and horse community. We would also like to thank our clients who have been great and my fellow professional trainers who have been very supportive.
We are working on getting our footing back. We appreciate everyone's patience as we re-group and figure everything out. We also appreciate people giving us some space as we work through the grief process. As you can imagine losing both his sire, Arboria Noble Victor, and "DW" was quite a blow in a short period of time. While, at his age, one cannot say that Victor's passing was totally unexpected at some point - losing a loved one is always difficult. With "DW" it was completely unexpected and that sometimes is more difficult to process.
We are very excited to see all the current and upcoming foals of "DW" - that keeps a part of him very much alive for us. We see him in every single one of them - his heart, his talent, his personality. We are also excited for the youngsters that we have here at the barn that are just starting their careers. We have one in particular whose barn behavior is a carbon copy of his late sire's barn behavior and that brings us smiles.
