We are absolutely brokenhearted to share the news that Elisa Wallace lost her talented partner Riot Gear to a freak pasture accident yesterday. The 12-year-old Oldenburg gelding owned by Steve and Vicki Sukup had most recently placed third in the CCI3*-S at The Event at TerraNova and then participated in the Notting Hill Stable Invitational earlier this week. Rest in Peace Rye Bread. We are so sorry, Elisa.
Our hearts also goes out to Jon Holling, who lost the promising young OTTB Ragtime Rebel, earlier this week as well. Hug your ponies, everyone. Our time with them is sometimes much, much too short.
