"There are friends and faces that may be forgotten, but there are horses that never will be." — Andy Adams
With profound sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Sonic (LTD Edition Melody) and Otie (Goin to pic a chic).
Sonic was born at WW Stables 25 years ago from Wendy and Bills original breeding program out of their foundation bred mare Glowy. Sonic was an amazing reining horse in her youth with an absolutely phenomenal stop and turn. Her and Wendy claimed the 3 year old reserve champion title in the Ltd Open in her debut futurity year and went on to have many fun years showing together. Sonic was then retired to become a lesson horse and broodmare. She had three beautiful babies who carry on her legacy today. Her first baby Pebbles (Limitless Chex to Cash) still resides at WW and was Wendy’s show horse for many years. In her final retired years she was absolutely loved on by a special young lady named Holly who diligently came to spend time with her.
Otie was bred by the Ryan Family in Portage La Prairie and trained by Kyle Shaw. She was a successful reining horse and went on the be purchased by the Barnes family for their daughter Gracie. Gracie had many years with Otie and competed successfully in Reining. Otie was then retired to our lesson program where she spent the last few years fully retired.
Both these mares were such a big part of our family and will be missed. Please share any photos or memories you may have in the comments to commemorate these beautiful mares.
