On Facebook received notice that Buckeroo has passed on. Sympathy to all those that loved him.....Lavonne

 

[Field-of-Dreams]

Godspeed, old man.... you were GREAT!

 

[High Meadow Miniatures]

I cannot find words to express....RIP Buckeroo, you were truly one in a million, a legend whom shall never be forgotten. Just last year, I was fortunate to purchase one of his sons...Seems so hard to believe, Buckeroo is gone

To LKF - I am so very sorry for your loss of your magnificent stallion

Goodbye, Boones Little Buckeroo.

OMG!

Six months older than Rabbit- this does not bode well!

I think he was the first American Mini I ever became aware of.

Though he has sired many beautiful babies, none has ever actually replicated his "magic", not for me.

End of an era.

 

[Tremor]

Boones Little Buckaroo?

 

[Riverrose28]

Oh No! I don't know what to say! Too sad. My condolences to Little King Farm on their lose.

 

[muffntuf]

I read it too, it is hard to believe since we just celebrated his 30 years recently. My condolences to Little King Farm and family. He will be missed.

 

[cretahillsgal]

Just caught this on Facebook. So sad.

No other will match what he has done for the American Miniature Horse.

 

[Raine Ranch Minis]

Boones Little Buckaroo?

Yes

 

[Sue_C.]

Thought he would live forever; and in a way...he will never pass.

:No-Sad

I was so hoping to see him in person one day. Godspeed, Buckeroo. Hope to see you grazing the green grass of heaven along side all the wonderful horses that went before you. Condolences to Buckeroo's caregivers and all those who loved him.

 

[OutlawStyle]

That is terrible

I have always loved him, he was my inspiration to get into miniature horses.

RIP beautiful Buckeroo <3

 

[horsehug]

I too had hoped he would last forever.

I remember writing to Little King Farm in the late 80's or early 90's about a son of his but I could not afford it then.

I will be forever thankful that last year I was able to fullfill a dream and got to go see Buckeroo in October and give him a hug. And I also now have two sons and a daughter of his to carry on my dream into the future.

I am so so sad to hear he is gone. But he will NEVER be forgotten.

Wow, he's going to be missed! But he'll live forever in the thousands and thousands of mini's who carry his genes

 

[Taylor Richelle]

He's a legend that will never ever be forgotten! His legacy will live on...R.I.P Beautiful boy

Just saw this on Little King Farm's website:

To My Family,

You're giving me a special gift,

so sorrowfully endowed.

And through these last few cherished days,

your courage makes me proud.

 

But really, love is knowing

when your best friend is in pain.

And undertaking earthly acts

will only be in vain.

 

So looking deep into your eyes,

beyond, into your soul,

I see in you the magic that will

once more make me whole.

 

The strength that you possess

is why I look to you today.

To do this thing that must be done,

for it's the only way.

 

That strength is why I've followed you

and chose you as my friend.

And why I've loved you all these years,

my partner 'til the end.

 

Please understand just what this gift

you're giving means to me.

It gives me back the strength I've lost,

and all my dignity.

 

You take a stand on my behalf,

for that is what friends do.

And know that what you do is right,

for I believe it too.

 

And don't despair my passing,

for I won't be far away,

Forever here, within your heart,

and memory I'll stay.

 

I'll be there watching over you,

your ever-faithful friend.

And in your memories I'll run,

a young horse once again.

My condolences to those at Little King Farm. Buckeroo was an incredible horse and unforgettable sire (and grandsire and great-grandsire, etc). What a lasting legacy he has had on miniature horses around the world! He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

A Legend of the whole horse world is now frolicking in heavens pastures. My sympathies to Little King Farms and all those who held him dear in their hearts. Buckaroo will live on forever in the hearts of all mini horse lovers and in the wonderful generations of Buckaroos that carry on his legacy!

Rest In Peace Buckeroo...You will be greatly missed and even though you are gone your legacy will never die. My deep condolences to Little King Farms.
