Julie Poveromo and No Trouble at the IEA Novice 3-Day. Photo by Kasey Mueller.
On Monday, July 29th, Julie Poveromo lost her 8 year old OTTB gelding “Trouble” in a pasture accident. Julie has written for EN and Trouble has made an appearance in a couple articles (Leslie Law clinic review, journey to FL from the Midwest in winter, etc). There are no words to describe the loss of such a great partnership, but Julie’s sister, Laura Poveromo put together a lovely video tribute. We offer our heartfelt condolences to Julie, and thank her for sharing a bit of him with us.
From Julie:
We never think it will happen to us, but the reality is that it can happen to anyone and I just want to share this with EN readers so they can take a little extra time each day to appreciate the horses they have, and to honor the memory of those that have been lost. The horses are such a blessing and give us so much, we can really never do enough to thank them.I am still in shock about Trouble’s passing, as he broke his leg in the pasture and there was nothing that could be done to save him. He was quirky, talented, loving, and the best partner I could ever ask for. As a team we accomplished more than I dreamed was possible; we were working on qualifying for the Training 3-day at Midsouth. I know the next quirky TB will find me when the time is right and I will keep eventing because it’s a huge part of who I am.Thank you for providing an outlet and sense of community for eventers everywhere.
