Finckenburgh

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of my beloved Finckenburgh, better known as "Sam". Sam was my first FEI horse, and he was a superstar of a horse in every respect. Besides being a gifted athlete and a patient teacher, he was a true gentleman. Upon his import to the USA, he became Kristina Harrison-Naness' first top quality horse. I retired him 3 years ago, and he has enjoyed a lovely retirement in the green pastures of Washington state with my parents, Bonnie and Garry. They loved Sam dearly as well, and I know that he couldn't have had a better retirement.
