This message is from: "Barbara Lynch" Mary and Gayle, My heart is breaking for you both.

This message is from: Kay Van Natta Gayle... I am so sorry to hear about Dustenai's passing. I know she's with Molde and Patty. It's always those of us left behind for whom I feel the sorriest.

If she was anything like her older sis Teal, a truly remarkable horse, she will be greatly missed. Quad-L's Teal is now 25 year's old and still hanging in there. I believe she was Dustin's first daughter. She's been crippled for a very long time now but courageously gets up and keeps on keeping on.. she can even make a dash for it if necessary. She's eating good and very alert but we know her days are numbered.. wintertime is hard on her. She is so regal and intelligent, a very classy lady in a class of her own.

Damn, this is just so sad. I'm trying very hard to hold back the tears right now. I had the pleasure of being able to drive Dustenai a few times, and it was just that... A pleasure. Wonderful mare.

This message is from: Gail Russell Gayle, Thank you so much for your nice story about Dustenai's life. It is sad and happy at the same time. It is nice to hear from you, and about her wonderful life. I remember when her first owner died. I do hope Mary can find another Fjord who can begin to match Dustenai.

This message is from: Gayle ware Dustenai has crossed over the rainbow bridge - May 8, 1993 - Jan 24, 2014 I am so very sad to share the news that Dustenai has gone to be with her momma, Molde and her first owner, Patty Peterson. Many of you here in the Pacific Northwest will remember Dustenai & Patty. They were always formidable competitors at the Libby show, particularly in driving events. Patty passed away a few years ago and friends created the Patty Peterson Memorial Trophy at the Libby show. After Patty's death, Dusternai and her son, Cymon, came to live here at Field of Dreams while we found new homes for them. Mary Johnson purchased Dustenai and her job became teaching Mary how to drive. Dustenai was a spectacular driving horse and received a score of 94 for Intro. Driving at the Moses Lake Evaluation a couple of years ago. Dustenai was one of the best daughters that Dusty ever produced. She had such a sweet, kind spirit and was everyone's favorite whether it came to riding or driving. Dustenai had suffered for the past few years with a mysterious digestive problem where she would periodically stop eating and display signs of discomfort. A trip to the OSU vet college showed stomach ulcers. She was treated for that and it seemed she was on the road to recovery. However, sometime later, the symptoms returned - back to OSU for more tests. This time the ulcers were healed, but after many more tests, scopes, xrays, etc., there was no answer as to what was causing her pain. More nmeds, symptoms subsided for a time, but returned again. Back to OSU for the third time. Same thing - no answers. It was a roller coaster for poor Dustenai - feel better - feel too miserable to eat - meds to make her comfortable. She was such a brave soul and a valiant fighter to the end. Dustenai began having another episode so I went to visit her at Mary's place on Sunday and asked Mary if she'd like to bring Dustenai back here for a while since she would at least eat green grass whenever her tummy hurt & I have plenty of grass to share. Mary brought her back here on Tues., but by Friday, it became apparent that not even the grass was going to fix her this time. The vet was called and the oh-so-difficult decision was made to let her go home. MUCH WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH, but knowing that it was the best thing for her - NOT SO MUCH FOR THE PEOPLE SHE LEAVES BEHIND!! I was with her when she drew her first breath so it was fitting that I got to be with her as she drew her last, but DANG it hurts so much to say good-bye. The world has lost another fabulous Fjord, but that is surely heaven's gain and I envisioned her frolicking over the rainbow bridge where she was greeted by Patty & Molde who had been patiently waiting for her. We will miss you little girl!
