It’s with great sadness we announce the passing of super sire Hydrive Cat on October 15, 2019.
Shane Plummer made the announcement and speaks of the great loss on the Quarter Horse News website in an article entitled “Goodbye, My Friend“.
Shane talks of the reasons for his humane euthanisation, but he focuses on Hydrive Cat through his eyes.
He ends his article with this heartfelt Goodbye:
“Hydrive was laid to rest at the top of the hill, the highest point here at SDP. It is just behind the stallion barn, in between the barn and my home. I cried saying goodbye. I cried standing next to his grave. I’m crying writing this.
“I’ve faced death in my life, in much worse circumstance than this. But, there is something about saying goodbye to not only your friend, but also a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly interest that you believe in. Something that feeds your family, that you’ve poured your heart, blood, sweat and treasure in. Hydrive Cat, I thank you. Till we meet again, my friend.”
