 All
about Mississippi Mayhem
Mississippi Mayhem or Tom was
born somewhere around approximately March 9th 1989. A
pure bred Arab with four white legs. he possessed a star and
a snip that made him the most striking horse I had ever
seen.
As a youngster
Tom was shut in a stable and starved. His emaciated
frame was purchased at auction by Kate and Tony in
Derbyshire for their daughter Rachel. Their
motive was just to get him out of that Sale. Under
their careful eye Tom was nursed back to health but retained
a fear of closed spaces and would eat until he exploded!!
Tom made the
journey to Nottinghamshire on the 18th March 1998.
He stood around 14.3hh. He spent the next two years
hacking and attempting the odd WES Show before having to be
retired with DJD of the near fore pastern joint.
Tom then spent
the rest of his days playing companion to Taz a valid role
in itself.
Sadly, Tom passed
away on the 22nd of September 2007, a dear friend missed by
all. Free from pain he roams free in the biggest
pasture he could ever have....
