Riverbank - A Tribute
RIVERBANK - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
It is with great sadness and sense of loss that I write this
obituary for dear old Riverbank. Losing any horse is devastating and
upsetting but anyone who has owned a stallion will understand the
unique bond and respect which exists between stallion and partner.
I bought Riverbank in 2003 and he had to be one of the most kindest
and genuine stallions anyone could own. He was always a pleasure to
be with. Whatever you were doing he was without exception a true
gentleman. He was 24 years old and had been suffering from Cushings
Syndrome for the last year. Sadly he lost his battle on 23rd
November 2005.
He is buried in his paddock where he used to stand watching over the
mares. A plaque has been erected in his memory and I await his last
foal in 2006.
Bless you Rivs,
