Wiley the Wonder Horse Retires!

Heather Lanham just retired her amazing horse Wiley.

Here is a message from Heather:

Wiley had an amazing 17 year career at Mill Creek, he is currently 27, competed thru Intermediate level eventing, became a total ambassador to up and coming riders for many years after he retired from competing...and is now retired to an amazing place in Santa Ynez that he will be spending his days on grass pasture...oh, and Thursday the day before he left, he jumped every jump in the ring without missing a distance...three times! EVERY JUMP...I just had to!!!

He is retiring to Santa Ynez, healthy and sound...deserving of such luxury...they groom every day, blanket, etc. He is the horse of a lifetime, a true gentleman. Irreplaceable...

Heather,
He has done so well, stayed sound and lasted so long because you have been such a good "mom" to him. What a beautiful relationship! Bella
