Cheeko 1988 - 2010



Sad day as Marks ex showjumper and ex polo pony came down with colic suddenly this afternoon and left him no choice after owning him for 17 years.  


He had been a bit of a lad in his day before turning into a grumpy old git in his twenties!  The last couple of years we had used him as a teaser on the stud and he still thought he was the main man and herd boss.

So very sorry for your loss. It sounds as if he will be missed dearly. It's never easy to lose an old friend.

Very sorry for your loss - that must be hard.

I am very sorry about Cheeko. He sounded like a great horse.

Cheeko was a lucky lad to have had a herd all to himself for so long, hope you are all ok.

so sorry to hear this.. some horse really get to you.. it still makes me sad to think of the two I lost in 1977 and 1981, one was tendons that were never right after a foot in a rabbit hole and the other was a # lower pastern bone while out in the field, it was in 15 pieces... she was my favourite, time wil tell if the current young man is even better!

thinking of you all
