Horses We've Loved and Lost

 BUD   was a bay paint Tennessee Walking Horse.   He kept his paddock mates in line, but was an absolute sweet heart towards the lesson kids and a favorite among beginners.   Bud frequently performed with the Drill Team.   Bud passed  away in 2018.
 SHAWNEE   ​was a blanketed Appaloosa.   He served as a lesson horse for many years and enjoyed his retirement at Doubletree Farms.   Shawnee passed away in 2018.
WALTER   was our 36 year old Shetland pony.  Although Walter wasn't used in lessons, he was well known on campus for giving pony rides at homecoming, being a model for the art students, and enjoying the attention at the Earth Day petting zoo.  Walter passed away in 2016 after a wonderful and long life on the farm.
