1997 - 2012

May 10, 2012, - Today we said goodbye to our beloved friend, companion and the Sire of many wonderful equine athletes. 

Following his long struggle with a debilitating elbow injury that ultimately led to Laminitis, he was humanely euthanized and is buried at Pine Hill in Bowie, TX. 

Smokum's legacy lives on through his offspring that many of you have the good  fortune to have in your own barns.  But he was much more than a stallion.

     He was a beautiful kind soul that was pure joy to be around.  He looked after all of the babies at the ranch and always came to you to say hello.  

He was athletic in ways that may have been his demise, playful but never mean spirited, and always grateful for everything you did for him. 

We will be forever thankful for the wonderful memories he shared with us over many years.  He will be missed in ways that cannot be expressed in words.  

We want to thank the many people that believed in him, cared about him and fought the good fight for him.  

Mike Hoag, DVM, Rhodes Murphy, DVM, Darren Baber, Paul Keller, Sheila Murphy, Nikki Montgomery,

Brittney Cunningham, Greg Bruce, Cody Kirshner, & Charlie McKinney just to name a few.

 

We would love to hear from those of you that have one of his sons or daughters. 

Please send us your photos and anything you would like to share about them.
