On Monday, Dec. 7, 2009 our lives changed forever.... our kind,
beautiful, gentle giant *HS INFINITE went home to heaven.... in a
freak accident during routine training, while being worked by his
beloved Bryony, in an inattentive moment INFINITE took a twisted step
and fell and he shattered his pastern irreparably.
Jesus will be riding the most beautiful white horse in Heaven and He
probably just could not wait any longer...
He was one of the kindest stallions in the world and He was loved
devotedly by his human family, especially Bryony and myself. Although
only five years old, he was a dream that spanned nearly two decades... a
perfect gift from God, with a perfect form with a perfect name and the
smoothest riding horse... he has far too few exquisite foals, each one
of them a treasure...
Who knew that this star would shine so bright and burn so fast.
INFINITE could have gone to a bigger farm, with a bigger
showing/marketing budget, a bigger harem and a larger staff, but he was
the center of our world here at Rockin' Heart Ranch and he did not need
anyone more than his beloved Bryony.... The orders to the staff here
were that they should leave INFINITE for Bryony to tend to... she and
she alone would groom him, turn him out, trained him to show in halter,
(a first for them both) and to be a soft obedient, classically trained
saddle horse. Never did a movie star have his locks more lovingly
tended, his wants and needs more slavishly met... he had Bryony and the
mutual love that they shared was the stuff of legends.... he was her
first horse, her first love and her first love lost...
*HS INFINITE changed our lives. It is bittersweet that most of his
lovely foals will live in the Middle East . Although our memories of he
and his two exotic black fillies winning the Get of Sire Class at the
Egyptian Event and reportedly being the talk of the show are sweet, our
fondest memories are of the simple joys of day to day life here on the
farm with INFINITE, where we enjoyed his charming company and his
absolute love of people.
God is the giver and taker of life... The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
Beauty is just the beginning, the possibilities are INFINITE!
