Last week Pegasus lost a dear friend, a loved teacher and a beautiful soul. Woody was a vital and adored member of our herd. Bid Williams had these beautiful words to say about our sweet gentleman. The whole Pegasus community is saddened today by our need to say goodbye to Woody – valued by his friends in the Pegasus herd – loved by the riders whose lives he enriched,- befriended by the helpers who worked to make his life, and their own lives, better for having been entwined. Woody deserved the best we could give him, and the best was quick relief from the pain of a twisted bowel. Two vets ran tests and concluded that calm and quick euthanasia was the kindest course. And so it was. He remains with us as a memory of a good friend, patient and kind, helping many riders to greater self-confidence, physical and emotional stimulus and pleasure, and to a growing empathy and understanding between horse and rider. We shall, of course, be in touch with the people who had special relationships with him. We also owe a debt of gratitude to those who helped to secure him for Pegasus, Joan Bates, and Sonza Veterinary Clinic, and of course to generous volunteers who work in classes and in stables, and many other supporting roles. From us all, vale Woody. _______ If you have any photos or stories about Woody, please feel free to share them. Rest in peace handsome man. Gone but never forgotten.
