On July 12th 2003 we said goodbye to Zeppy. This was our greatest Herdword teacher to date.

He taught the proud to be humble, the rough to be gentle, the weak to be strong, the thoughtless to be solicitous, the unbending to be flexible and the wishy washy to be precise.

He had the ability to expose the strengths and weaknesses of every individual who had the opportunity to work with him.

With his busy mind, this horse tried and tested each individual he worked with in a kind and gentleman like manner. His great interest in the human species, graduated him to the equivalent of a wise professor who appeared to possess a greater understanding of us, than we have of ourselves.

This truly noble little horse is irreplaceable and will always hold a very important place in our hearts.
