This week we are celebrating the life of Waterfront, Jan Byyny’s three-star mount for many years, as he passed away recently. He was owned and loved by Keelin Redmond since he retired from upper level eventing, and died at age 22. Tukie was infamously often a bridesmaid, finishing in second place at numerous international competitions, but persevering with the heart of a lion. He was a horse that absolutely loved the sport of eventing, and gave Keelin many years of laughs competing at the lower levels. Here’s to Waterfront! [Surefire Eventing: Remembering Waterfront]
