I am sad to report the passing today of our beloved horse, Larry. His registered name was Wizards Spell Troubles Exemplary. He was known world wide as "The Little Horse That Can Jump". He only stood 30 inches tall - yet he cleared 44 inch jumps multiple times during his career. Some of his YouTube videos had over 1 million views. He won the AMHA World Championship in Jumper 9 times, and took the Reserve 5 times.
After Larry won his first world championship we changed our ranch logo to a picture of him taking off for a jump.
He LOVED to jump. And although he was a stallion, he was gentle enough that he was often shown by children. He had a big heart and was always willing to do his best.
Larry died peacefully in Carla's arms while I was petting him. He was 24 years old. He leaves 3 daughters on our show team and 2 sons as therapy horses.
