In Memory of Billet 1997- 2011


Billet was humanly put to rest March 3 after a long illness from which he could not recover. Billet was rescued in 2007 and was adopted by Jenn Grundon and her family. Billet was gelded, and trained under saddle. When adopted he was a 10 year old Arabian Stallion who had not been handled. He was a body score of 2 when he came to Whispering Oaks. He turned into a beautiful horse with care and feeding. He became ill in 2008 and recovered to ride again and show. He became ill again in 2010 and this time couldn't recover even with the best known cures and Veterinary care. Thanks go to Dr. Emily Weaver and the reserch and time she took to try to learn about Billet's rare condition. Billet was loved and cared for by Jenn Grundon his owner, right till the end. Bill, may you forever be a "Drinker of the Wind."

If we hold on together,
I know our dreams will never die.
Dreams see us through to forever
As high,
As souls can fly,
The clouds roll by for you and I.

"Diana Ross"

Each Rider recieved input on what they should work on from the Judge Miss Brittnay Hawkins. Exhibitors who rode their own horses also were critiqued on there horses performance and what would make it better. Here are a few photos of the event.
