Oh no! I'm SO sorry you lost your beloved boy!

The Miniature Horse world took a huge hit today at his loss. But OH the legacy he left to carry on! OH WOW!

I'm terribly sorry to hear about "Redboys" failing health and his passing. I personally own several of his granddaughter's/great granddaughter's and their my most prized an cherished broodmares. They've always produced SHOW QUALITY foals for us every-time. He was a PHENOMENAL horse and he's had a HUGE impact on the miniature horses industry.

 

Thank you "Redboy" for your invaluable contribution and peace be with you in your new journey....

Im so sorry for your loss - I can't imagine how awful you must feel

[kimie28]

So sorry for your loss! He will live on as a legend forever!

 

[targetsmom]

I am so sorry!! But you are so right, he may be gone but not forgotten - certainly not by those of us who own descendants. In our small herd we have a Cross Country Call Me Sirs daughter (and HER daughter) AND a Cross Country Call Me Awesome daughter.

I'm so sorry. Redboy is a true legend, who gave me a wonderful stallion. I feel honored to own his son Cross Country Call Me Awesome. Our goal at Cedar Fields is to carry on his legacy.

Dear Belinda and all the other who obviously loved Redboy dearly...

My condolences at the passing of a true piece of history. There are only one or maybe two other horses that have impacted the breed as much as he did. You must be very proud and humbled at all he did to improve the breed.

Godspeed Redboy.

You can be proud that you gave him such a wonderful life, and were there to comfort him in the end.

Farewell Redboy, and enjoy romping through the clouds as you canter painfree in greener pastures.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Redboy. It is never easy to let the old ones go....

Through his get and grand get he will continue to influence the Miniature horse world.

Oh my gosh what an amazing little horse he was and I am so sorry that you had to make that decision. He was a household name, and certainly a positive impact on the breed that will never be forgotten.

My heart truly goes out to you, your family and everyone who was close to the little guy- what a tough and heartbreaking time. But what a wonderful long life he had with wonderful people who loved him and took care of him!!!
