In Loving Memory

"The wind of heaven, is that which blows between the horse's ears"

Morgan and Amjad
Amjad first came into our lives about 14 years ago. When Debbie and her family moved here from Indiana, they brought their horse and boarded at a barn nearby. Amjad was owned by a boarder there and that's where we first met our little pokie maud. Amjad's owner at the time was looking for someone to ride/lease him and Debbie's niece Megan was the lucky one to lease him. Megan and her family fell in love with him and that Christmas, he became a part of their family! Megan enjoyed him all through her middle school and her first 2 years of high school and then outgrew him. She loved him too much to sell him, so she gave him to her Aunt Deb. He moved into Debbie's place and that's where he met his "forever"friend Infinity! The 2 of them share a special bond and when they were apart, each of them would whinny for the other. Debbie and Pam started up Sundanz Arabians where Amjad became the main lesson horse. He has carried around most, if not EVERYONE of the Sundanz clients on his back at least once. He is a gentle giant and loved the kids so much. He is a huge part of our family and we will forever LOVE him! Today, we say goodbye to our beloved Amjad. We will cherish all of our great memories and rides together....until we meet again our gentle giant!
Our beloved Amjad
