This Week @ Monday Creek: Farewell to Mystere, Risky, and Robin

 

We are sad to report that Monday Creek Publishing Author, NC Matheny, said goodbye to three of the equines in his award-winning book Hard Way to Go: The Horse of a Lifetime (2021). Of course, the main character, Casey, passed away October 30, 2020. If you’ve read NC’s book, you will remember Mystere, Robin, and Risky.

To update you, Mystere died in April 2022 at twenty-eight years old. She coliced and did not recover.  Robin died in October 2023 of a heart attack, she was twenty-six. In 2023, Risky, the cute Pinto miniature stallion, was rehomed to a family in Georgia. All three horses are deeply missed and forever remembered at NC’s stable.

On March 28, 2023, NC brought home Breeze, a six-month old, rescued nurse mare foal. Born in Louisiana, sent to Kentucky along with a nurse mare (not his mother), Breeze was a “teaser” foal - he kept the nurse mares in milk. When he was six months old, he was rescued along with other nurse mare foals by Rolling Oaks Rescue, Cambridge, Ohio.  Shortly after, NC bartered for Breeze, the beautiful Kentucky Mountain foal. Now over a year old, Breeze frolics where Casey, Mystere, Robin, and Risky once played. 

I will be sharing more about Breeze in next week’s post. You can see all of Breeze’s videos and photos on his Facebook page @ The Kentucky Horse, Breeze.
