Chief!!



The longing for the days where Park Pacifica Stables and Bud Butler were a staple in my life.  How those times were the days where as you can witness Kate on Chief and Zest working the Arena for the harness of what today requires me to say, I love the facts.

True to form is the method of reality.  As this young mare that the owners had given up on came my way while living in Sacramento, California.  Kate was always in the thirst of riding as she would wet her lips to tangle her thought to her next ride.  This mare was a bit of a rogue, kind as she was she still would have jumped the Moon to land an earth (spooked a lot) and that made her a best practice.  This mare found her home with a Man that rode her off to Southern California (actually he hauled her to SoCal in a gorgeous four horse horse trailer).


A young thoroughbred colt came in a trade.  The balance of that dynamic strap was his brother.  A thoroughbred, dark bay and for the breaking of that colt this colt came to fact in memory as this young horse is in a pasture in Arlington, Texas. 

Sadly in a freak accident the colt from Paso that looks just like this your whipper snapper snapped his canon bone in that pasture where we had rented our 3 bedroom. 

It was a cold, brisk morning in Paso Robles and that young red colt and the other horse made the rounds by a galloping morning display of just feeling good.  That young colt lost his footing, he went down on his side and I just happened to have seen the entire thing out the window as I was enjoying their frolic, had I not been watching I would have not believed it. Oddly,  I told somebody at the time that I thought he should trade the breaking for the dark bay as this young colt looked a bit thin down there.  As the morning held by breath and as that colt got up he hobbled, I went immediately out the back door and low and behold my draw of air was suffocating, he snapped his canon bone straight through and the only thing hanging that leg on his leg just below his knee was hide.  I immediately went to the landlord who had a Training Facility and said we need a gun.  He turned and looked admitting I looked whiter than a sheet with his expressed serious of respond.  I said my horse just snapped his leg clean off.

He came in his quick after retrieving his gun and sure enough he said go on back in the house.  No Veterinarian could have made it as we were a good hour from town and who really knew where the large animal Vets were that particular day.  In agreement with my chopped horror that landlord was so kind.  He said get the kids away from the windows, I did as he said and that is the end of that story.  Thank goodness for Ranchers.  Be it Paso or Texas I am so grateful for that Rancher.




Kate loved Boris. He was a Northern Dancer colt bought out of the Keeneland Sales Barn.  He was a tosser of a gathering storm but he came to be the lover of my two kids, Rebecca and Kathleen (Kate).  His pedigree was a bomby one as those colts were known to be of a difficult song as their Sire was a tumbler.
