HEMI
 
~ 1989 to 12/10/04

Sadness has struck again in such a short time. Unexpectedly Hemi has passed away at such a young age of only 15+/-. he had gone quietly in his sleep, just like Angel. Seemingly to have passed away in his dreams. The best way to go. He will be sadly missed, but know he was truly loved his last year.

We named him hemi because he is such a powerhouse. He is all muscle and meat...which made him very desirable to the butchers at the auction. Hemi rides, drives, picks up all four feet, easily, and is a real gentleman, with personality to boot. He came in with heavy city shoes, but is currently barefoot, they way we like it. Are you looking for the perfect horse for a beginner? Hemi will take anyone anywhere. He is 200% bomb proof, traffic safe, trail safe, easy keeper ( about 2-3 lbs of grain a day and only a bale of hay/day...not much for a gentle giant like this). We have only found Hemi to have a slight crack in his hoof...cosmetic only, other wise we just can't find anything wrong with him. He gets along with anyone and everyone. Currently he is turned out with a Belgian mare, Maggie. He doesn't have a mean bone in him. He may be a little slow at times and takes his time catching up to the crowd...maybe this is why he was thrown away. We heard he had come out of the city somewhere giving carriage rides...maybe they didn't want to pay to winterize him...oh well...their loss! You won't find a nicer gentler giant than this!!!

He gets along with everyone!
