Hunter pony Legend, "Dow Jones" passes.

[QHmom]

Via a friend on facebook, Dow Jones was put down this week due to old age. What a wonderful pony he was.... Another one over the rainbow bridge.

[Limerick]

May he rest in peace. Who were some of his riders?

[equit8]

I remember when Winn Reid now Alden rode him back in the day.

[In the Air]

Katie Huber rode him for a while after Winn, I believe.

[Jetta2horse]

Leigh Ann Best. and maybe Greg too? if it's the same pony. He would have to be eons old!

[superpony123]

I have seen pictures of him back in the day. What a cool pony he must have been! may he rest in peace

[Limerick]

Anyone know what his breeding was?

[Tackpud]

What an awesome pony! One of the greats from the '80's and '90's. May he rest in peace.

[Sing Mia Song]

He was a great pony. I remember Winn on him at Harrisburg winning the pony winner's stake.

[FarnleyGarnet]

Saw it on facebook too. He was one of the greats.

One of my good friends who grew up riding with Katie got to show him when she was a little girl. She said Katie used to make her sing a song the whole way around the course. :)

It always amazes me how so many many of the great ones live out their lives in a wonderful setting after the show ring is not an option. I love it!! I have some famous ones here on the farm right now. One gal is 34 this year, and she trucked her share during her show years. :D

[Tha Ridge]

Missy Appman had him too, right?

[Va2Ga]

I was lucky enough to hack him for Katie in the larges and then later her mom gave me lessons on him. I was like 10 at the time and felt so cool that I got to ride him.
How old was he?

[little brown]

I had the great opportunity to ride him for a year in the larges. He taught me a great deal! Katie Huber was a amazing with him. I am so happy that he was able to live out a long happy life after all his days in the show ring. Sharon Huber has always taken such great care of her older guys that worked so hard during their life. I know he is cantering on somewhere!

[Limerick]

Anyone have photos?? :)

[mtaylormusic]

Anyone know what his breeding was?

He was by Cymraeg Rain Beau (Welsh) out of Thomirror (TB) by Sir Thomson. He's a full brother to Hidden Creek's Rain Fox.

Wow. I remember taking lessons on Count Tuscan with Winn on Dow Jones, in the early 80's. Winn must have been around 14; I......was not.

[Kahuna]

I just now saw this thread after being out of town for a few days. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. :( I leased him in 1988. He was so much fun to ride and a great pony.

[Parminch]

What a great pony! What a great life he led and how many great people got to enjoy him and become better horseman because of him!
Godspeed Dow Jones!
