::: comments from the field :::
I live in Southern Pines and know how good it is for horses, the
mild climate, the forgiving footing, and lots of good horse people.
This would be a beautiful area for horse retirement. I can think
of a few favorites... Bold Minstrel... and I really think we, the
horse community, need a place to remember our great horse partners.
Good idea, I'm all for it!

I think the idea of The Southern Pines Sport Horse Foundation
to provide a retirement community for Champion horses of both the
sporting world as well as of our own hearts is a great way to
give something back to our equine friends who have given us a lifetime
of priceless adventures and happiness that could never be duplicated.
The well deserved recognition and honor that the SPSHF will bring
to our partners will be priceless.

When the foundation approached me about their vision of a retirement
facility and a hall of fame, Edgar XII came to mind. He is my current
Grand Prix horse, a privilege to ride, and what a tribute for him
to be held in history along with his story. I wish The Southern
Pines Sport Horse Foundation the best of luck.

I personally cannot imagine a better idea than to have a place
for the memory and past glories of our show horses. A place where
people can go and read about and share in the great moments of
horse show/sport history. And what a great idea to retire them
right there on the premises. It's like a living museum for all
of us.

I share your vision for providing a place for horses to retire
and live out their lives in safety, comfort, and with dignity.
Your concept of providing an area to include memories about each
horse is a wonderful way to ensure that the legacy of each horse
carries on and becomes a part of history. I am also pleased that
your vision is to accept horses from all walks of life, not just
show horses, as each horse has touched someone's life in a special
way that should be acknowledged. Congratulations on your endeavor
and continued success with the project.
