Neapolitano Pegasus
He was Neapolitano Pegasus (Neapolitano Apollo x Platana 7), born 8/22/79,
died 8/22/07 (I didn’t realize the matching dates until after he died). I personally
never showed him -- he was too petite for us to make a winning picture -- but I
sponsored several junior riders to show him. They were always in the ribbons.
P was very opinionated with experienced riders, me especially, but
was exceptionally kind with the inexperienced. Over the years, he was
schoolmaster to quite a few wanting to learn the lateral work, packed several
disabled riders for the thrill of their lives, and babysat me with broken bones
and casts. The other horses were terrifi ed of my odd appendages but he was
unafraid, SOOO patient and very careful to keep me balanced. Once I was OK
again, he went back to trying to buck me off daily :>)

“We lost our much loved Pegasus in August 2007. He was the fi rst foal born
at our former farm in Orlando, also named Pegasus. He was the son of the
magical Neapolitano Apollo and the lovely Piber mare Platana 7. At age 28,
he was still going strong at about Prix St. George until a torn crutiate ligament
from a misstep laid him up. A “leaky” injection of the stifl e with Vetalog led to
laminitis and ultimately his death. We miss him.”
