In Memoriam
|
||||||||||||||||||||
|
Mojo was a wonderfully kind colt with a free spirit and personality that would draw anyone in and make their hearts melt. He had the personality and spunk of a youngster with the knowledge of the world that only and old soul would possess. He seemed to know more about the world than a colt his age should. Mojo always took new experiences in stride and never said no, like he had done all this before. The world lost an incredible colt way too soon. We will always wonder what you could have been and all the tremendous things you would have done. We all miss you, Mojo.

Paradona 198? - October 25, 2009 Paradona was a beautiful thoroughbred mare close to 30 years of age at the time of her passing. She had been a mainstay at Blue Fox Farms for the past 15 years where she ruled the back pasture every evening at turn-out time. She was a mare with an opinion on everything and she wasn't afraid to share it! Everyone always knew what was on her mind, including her pasture mates, who she always kept in line! She was very fortunate to have had the most caring owners, Renee Coffman and Tim Hall. Throughout Paradona's career and retirement, they were always there for her. Seeing them hand grazing Paradona, taking her for a walk around the farm or just spending time with her was not an unusual sight. No horse could have asked for more caring and dedicated owners. Our thoughts are with Renee and Tim in their time of loss. The Blue Fox Farms Family will miss Paradona greatly. Donations in Paradona's honor can be made to Lone Star Outreach to Place Ex-Racehorses (LOPE Texas). |

Babs
March 17, 1996 - May 2009 |
||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Babs was a golden hearted hero and the only truly "good" dog I ever owned. She was wonderful with kids with always a watchful eye over them, especially in new surroundings or away from home.
Babs was a fixture at any horse show the Blue Fox Farms crew attended and could usually be found somewhere around the concession stand! At the Great Southwest Equestrian center shows when we'd hear "There's a loose boxer near the main offices, someone come get her!" in a British accent (hint hint) over the PA system usually a few of us would end up running into each other at the coffee stand saying, "did you get Babs already?". Another of Babs's favorite horse show past times was trying to join Regan Scisco when she was jogging the model. Babs just couldn't resist showing the judge her stuff, too! Babs was a once in a lifetime friend and she will never be forgotten. If you care to honor Babs with a memorial, please send a donation in her name to your favorite Boxer Rescue. We'll miss you, Sister. |

Special Gold
"Cash" 1970-2008 |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash was a wonderfully kind soul who taught many people how to ride and handle horses. He was known all over the community, especially as my sister, Rhonda Bludworth's, Special Olympics horse. Cash was incredibly special, not just to myself and my sister, but to all those he touched through the gift of his teaching.
Thanks for everything, Cash. Pictured here at the age of 37. |

Slick

I came across Slick at a local horse dealer when I was looking for another school horse. When I first saw him, I knew he'd be perfect and he never let me down. Slick was a patient and kind teacher who was always steady even when his rider was not!
I had the pleasure to know Slick for the last ten years of his life and am glad for every one of them. |

| Special thanks to Gene Edwards and the rest of the Edwards Family for taking over the care of Slick for the last two years of his life. You helped to make them incredibly special for him.
