TUFFY WAS A 15 HH REGISTERED APPALOOSA MARE - SHE'S WHAT YOU CALL A 'FEW SPOT' LEOPARD.  
GENTLE, EASY TO RIDE, AND INDISPENSABLE TO OUR BUSINESS!  WHITE IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR ON A HORSE
- BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM HER PHOTO (*GETTING BATHED) IT CAME WITH RESPONSIBILITY!

TUFFY WAS GOOD NATURED ENOUGH FOR ANYONE TO RIDE WITHOUT A FUSS - BUT SHE WAS
ALSO QUITE HAPPY TO GET UP AND GET MOVING! SHE WAS TRULY A HORSE FOR ALL OCCASIONS,
AND HER NICE BALANCED MOVEMENT MADE HER A NICE HORSE TO RIDE ENGLISH AS WELL.
TUFFY DID IT ALL - TEAM PENNING, TRAIL RIDING, JUMPING - A NATURAL, AND GREAT
WITH BEGINNERS.  SHE HAD THE BUILD, THE MOVEMENT, AND THE MIND FOR BOTH DISCIPLINES
AND SHE WAS VERY WILLING - A FUN RIDE AND WE LOVED HER (WHEN SHE WAS CLEAN)!

IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT I TELL OF THE PASSING OF THIS GREAT MARE.
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED, WENT OUTSIDE ONE MORNING AND SHE
WAS PASSED AWAY. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF ILLNESS, NO SIGNS THAT
SHE COLICKED, NOTHING. IT IS A COMPLETE MYSTERY TO ME. SHE WAS SUCH
AN UNBELIEVEABLE HELP TO THIS BUSINESS THAT IT IS HARD TO SAY GOODBYE.

REST IN PEACE, TUFFY. TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
