MY HORSES

RIVERSIDE STUD

RIVERSIDE STUD WAS BORN WHEN I BOUGHT A COLOURED POLISH WARMBLOOD COLT CALLED CENTYSTAGE. HE WAS FROM THE CENTYFIELD STUD WHICH IS OWNED BY BARRY AND SARAH MAUDSLEY.

INDY AS HE WAS CALLED AT HOME WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL HORSE I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF OWNING, NOW MANY YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH I STILL CANT WRITE OR TALK ABOUT HIM WITHOUT SOBBING MY HEART OUT (ITS A GOOD JOB I DON'T HAVE A WEB CAM!) HE WAS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN MY LIFE AND TO LOOSE SUCH A TALENTED YOUNG STALLION AT THE AGE OF 5 WAS A GREAT LOSS TO THE WORLD OF THE COLOURED HORSE.

BUT............ I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE TWO WONDERFUL DAUGHTERS, A SON AND NOW GRANDCHILDREN OF HIS TO HOPEFULLY CARRY ON HIS LEGACY. HIS SON WHO IS NOT COLOURED BUT IS A VERY DARK BAY BUT CARRIES COLOUR ON BOTH SIDES - HIS MUM IS BY STANHOPES DIDDICOY. HE IS THE SPITTING IMAGE OF HIS FATHER, A BEAUTIFUL HEAD, SHORT COUPLED, VERY BALANCED, GREAT CONFORMATION AND THE SWEETEST TEMPERAMENT YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR AND BOY DOES HE MOVE!!!

THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO OWN ONE OF HIS BABIES OR KNEW HIM WILL ALL AGREE THAT HE WAS TRULY ONE IN A MILLION. NOT A DAY GOES BY WITHOUT ME THINKING OF HIM. MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY WITH YOUR SPECIAL HORSE - YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE THE LAST DAY.

BELOW ARE A FEW PHOTOS OF HIM, HIS SON AND MY THREE GIRLS AND NOW WE HAVE GRANDSONS AND A GRANDDAUGHTER SEE BELOW
