With tears and a heavy heart i would like to pay tribute to one of the most special arabian boys i have known....Golden Sequin aka Sox.
This afternoon he was put to rest after suffering a kick to his shoulder, there was nothing that could be done and the decision was made by his wonderful loanee Fabiana to let him go.
Fabiana had Sox on loan from Armada Arabians for the last 3years and certainly done him proud. Those who went to the most recent South East Region show at Hickstead would of seen him winning the ridden Veteren class there......Fabiana's debut showing show with the old man and his 1st show at higher than local level for many many years.
I'm so gutted for her that he is gone as even at his mature age she had many plans for him and i would always be reading her reports about their fun and mishaps and jumping stories!
Sox taught so many people what an arab was all about, ok he was a real grumpy git in the stable but boy was he a good ride! Safe as houses but wouldnt suffer fools gladly! Gave me the confidence to compete at local level some 4 or 5years ago before Fabs took him on to bigger and better things.
The stories ive heard about Sox will stay in my memory forever, he will be missed by many including all of the Smith family, me, Tracey and Jody (his previous loaners) and most of all im sure by Fabiana who probably had the most fun a young girl can ever have on an arabian horse.
Here is a picture of the old man when i rode him about 5yrs ago.....RIP Sox......much loved by a hell of a lot of people.

Hi arabian lover
We are on the same yard as fabs, and are all completely heart broken and saddened at his sudden loss. He was such a credit to the arab breed and a real character on the yard.
We all loved him to bits - who couldn't really, - he completely got under your skin.
Fabs is in bits and there is nothing that we can say at the moment - it's all so unreal but the memories of him will live on for a very long time.
All of us are very sad tonight and are thinking of him in our hearts - Gallop free old man
