Zar
June 9, 1982 ~ June 10, 2004
Zar lived a very full 22 years, and words
cannot even begin to describe what he meant to all of us. He
participated in 12 years of 4-H, 10 of those with Jenny and 2 with Jessica.
He was ridden by several kids and adults over the years, and used in
numerous parades, clinics, and demonstrations. He was a true "jack of
all trades" competing in: halter, western, english, dressage, contesting,
trail, western riding, reining, team penning, and costume classes. The
opposite of the Arab's normal high-spiritedness, Zar was very laid back and
lazy. That was, of course, until you put a jump or a cow in front of
him. He had a huge passion and a big heart for jumping, but his
biggest love of all was chasing cows. He found a delight in team
roping the last 8 years of his life, and as some of you know, the team
roping pen is not usually where you see Arabs. He had such a love for
chasing cows that he couldn't even be pastured with them, because he would
chase them 'til they collapsed. Pages of stories could be written
about him, but stories are best captured in pictures...so I hope you enjoy
the ones below.
