A Dear Friend Passes On

Our first Suffolk mare, Violet, died last Friday.  She came to us many years ago when in her prime and we bred many good foals from her and her progeny produced foals too.; and their progeny also.  She had a wonderfully quiet temperament which her foals acquired in great measure and passed on.  She would have been a regular sight to our many visitors.   Her passing was like a great ship subsiding below the waves. Her time had come.
