Many of you have heard of Nigel, the Fjord-Arab cross I have boarded for the last 9+ years for the Keller family. He was part of our family, too. He died sometime early this morning after two days of efforts to save him from colic. We are not sure how old he was but he was ancient. It is believed he was one of the horses Finn Caspersen bred for competitive driving by Bill Long. I don't know if he was part of the team. Vivian Creigh told me she saw him show on the Florida circuit. He was great horse with a sly personality but a willing partner for driving and riding. He took care of his people. He was a real pal to Starfire Chiron (Teddy) because he would play with him and Tank is not much into playing. But he was also Tank's preferred companion and when they were separated for a short period, their reunion was joyous. We found Nigel early this morning with Teddy and Tank standing vigil over him. He will be missed by all who knew him. -- Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM cynt...@carriagehorse.com http://highmesafjords.yolasite.com/ No philosophers so thoroughly comprehend us as dogs and horses. ~Herman Melville, Redburn.
