The Great Performance Horse Sapphire Dies
a video of one of her performances
Look at that blaze! Wow! It is as strikingly unique as Sapphire’s great talents! What a magnificent horse. That course was too hard though!!!!! But Sapphire was a hopping and floating wonder… Like a ballet dancer doing greatly difficult things, but you would never know it because it seems like they aren’t even breathing. They are in some zone above us executing their effortless Olympian feats like flowing water.
To the Great Sapphire in heaven now: You will be forever admired and never forgotten…You are in our visual and spiritual consciousness for good. Thank you for this wonderful video of Sapphire’s sheer floating greatness…
Thank you splendid Sapphire for giving the world great beauty from your ceaseless efforts, year in and year out.
You are immortal. We salute you. We love you.
Brenda Du Faur

Iam so sorry about the loss of Saffire. I’m glad that she had a few years of retirement. I’m glad that that she was retired still healthy and well. I’m sorry for everyone connected to her. I know it is very painful. Saffire was a super star. She will be missed by many.

I’m sorry to hear about Sapphires passing. I’, glad that she had 2 years of retirement. Although I think that she enjoyed the work that she did it was good that someone was (Mclain?)looking after her and seeing that she retired when she did. She left the ring in good health to go home to retire and to be with people who loved her. I’m so sorry.
