"We said goodbye to an old friend and hello to a new friend.
We awoke Sunday morning to find that Fortunes Cause "George" had passed in his sleep. He was 30 years old.
and Monday morning around 2 am we welcomed "Amiga" (meaning friend, girl) We have waited 419 days for her to arrive. She is by our stud and out of Grajetta Deck.
He is a picture of George, and a few of Amiga (I will get some more after I go back to bed) and one of Cinch watching over Georges grave. Normally Cinch comes and sleeps in the porch, he would not come in last night."
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Nevala family in this time of morning and celebrating.

Stolen Horse, Southern Illinois
Registered Paint Horse that was stolen from a farm in Flat Rock Illinois sometime during the night on Friday August 22. The farm is Located about 10 miles north of Lawrenceville, IL. It belonged to the Keith Caughran family, specifically their 13 year old daughter that has owned him for 5 years. This horse was her best friend and the family is devastated. The horse is the 2008 Crawford County all around 4-H Champion and was scheduled to go to the National Barrel Horse Assn. World Championship show this fall. The horse was in a pasture with a Standardbred, Whitssundaybeach. The halter was removed from 'Whitts' and used to lead the horse 'Max' out of the pasture through an area which was cut in the fence. This was not a random crime nor was there any ownership/money dispute over the horse. Limited information is available other than the neighbors though they saw a truck with a light colored bumper pull stock type trailer in the area.
Please publish this wherever possible and send to anyone on mailing list that may be of assistance in locating this horse.
Contact the Crawford County Sherrif's Department or the family at 618-584-3178 or 812-887-5179.

gratitude for the thoughts and prayers received since the fundraiser held
last August at Oasis. Dave was 42 years old. Many of the barrel

funeral is Friday 11 AM at the First United Methodist Church in Lindstrom.

prayers ~ eHorse & UBRA
