Other Facts: Doc is a good boy, but has a very bumpy trot! Good for learning to post!! Doc mostly prefers walk/trot riders now, but will still canter from time to time for some of his smaller friends.
On Friday August 9, 2024 Doc laid down in front of the weeping willow tree one last time. Doc was a businessman in that when he showed up for work every day he was there to do his job. He didn't have time for spooking or reacting to a nervous rider. He didn't care about the ice and snow sliding off the roof. Back in the day he loved to jump big jumps. In recent years he loved trotting for his tiny passengers. When I said, "Posting trot" he was always the first one to go, no crop or spurs required. He was a star of Game Day at summer camps. He was chosen as 'Horse of the Show' in IEA - Interscholastic Equestrian Association. He was a favorite of many as they went through the awkward beginner stage because he had a way of making them feel like they knew what they were doing. Thank you Cathryn Bridges, Darla Bridges, and Red Pegasus Ranch for letting us care for him for so long and letting so many new riders enjoy him.
