It is with a very heavy heart that I write this message this morning.
"BUDDY", so named because he was the best mate one could ask for, crossed over
the RAINBOW BRIDGE bridge yesterday.
Just Shameless, our magnificent stallion who was the pin up boy for COPRICE
feeds early in his career, was loved by many. He had his very own fan club that
extended from Texas through California right round the world.
A world champion himself (in so many ways) and leading sire,he has left a
legacy in the paint horse industry that will stand as testament to this great
horse through his daughters for years to come.
During his reign in Paints for 8 years in Australia, Bud produced the
winners of the National Champion paint and open weanling and yearling
futurities, his riders were wonderfully athletic horses as evidenced in his
rodeo mounts sort for their ability to run and stop hard. His hacks, western
pleasure and English horses took national and royal show champions. And for
those that just wanted a good trail riding or farm horse they were reliable and
sound into their teens. Now his wonderful daughters are leaving the winners of
the most prestigeous classes in the land.
Those that actually had the pleasure of meeting this amazing horse whist he
was here at Coronation Park were taken back by his presence. Buddy had an aura
that was alluringly beautiful. This he passed to this progeny that are
unmistakably SHAMELESS!
Our tears fall like rain this morning, We extend our condolences to Crown
Park Stud and Elizabeth Pride and family FOR we know only too well how this
wonderful horse gets into your heart.
Fly with Pegasus Bud, be free and look on over us with love from
above.
Kath and Peter and all at CP who loved you.
