In Memory: Whizards Baby Doll - "Roxy"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Heaven's remuda improved by one fine mare on February 8, leaving this planet one short, with the passing of Roxy (aka Whizards Baby Doll), best known as horsewoman Stacy Westfall's bareback and bridleless mount. She sustained traumatic injury after apparently becoming cast in her stall sometime during the night of Feb. 5. Roxy was treated for two days at Valley View Animal Hospital in Dover, Ohio, before being humanely euthanized on Feb. 8. Roxy was due to foal in early March, and although a C-section was performed, the little sorrel stud colt proved too weak to survive.
Roxy had a wide and varied career that included becoming the 2nd highest earning offspring of Whizard Jac, who was both NRHA futurity champion and USET champion. She won two All-American Quarter Horse Congress Championships and two Reserve Championships, the NRHA Futurity freestyle championship, and the Tulsa Reining Classic twice, to name just a few.
Roxy's championship performance in the 2006 All American Quarter Horse Congress, with Stacy riding bareback and bridleless, went viral on the Internet and led to Roxy and Stacy appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show. Roxy, ever the lady, gave Ellen a memorable ride before appearing before the live studio audience and accepting peppermints from Stacy.
Roxy leaves behind four offspring, all of whom were carried by recipient mares. She will be much missed by owner Greg Gessner, the Westfall family and everyone who valued watching the great trust and love shown between she and Stacy when they performed as one.

Balling - What a ride & special journey
I remember meeting Whizzards Baby Doll (Roxy) and Stacy Westfall at Equine Affaire in West Springfield Massachusetts
Roxy was one in a million! RIP Roxy! 💔
В это кто. Клево она налошади безо всего👍💃
Rest in peace Roxy ❤❤❤
This is a beautiful video it makes me cry everytime
So so so so sorry for the loss! Prayers for all that loved her and especially for Stacy!! I know the close feeling you both had!
i cry all the time when i watch these videos :)
I just watched this, popped up on FB... this is the kind of connection I had with my heart horse, Penny, who resembled Roxy, only a liver chestnut mare. Broke my heart losing her, as Im sure it did Stacy's . Great mares like this are never replaced.
This video is beautiful and seriously made me cry. I wish I could have been able to see Stacy and Roxy in person, but I was horse deprived for too many years before my riding instructor and best friend introduced me to what my [hopeful] future would be in the horse world.
"R.I.P Roxy - what a beautiful mount you were and a great companion."

Volvican what happened to her??

Rest in Peace Roxy girl!
my mom came to me and said stacy westfalls horse died today and i looked at her and i said what... no way and she said yeah she got cast in a stall. i love this horse one of the screen shots from the pattern was my wall paper on my computer for the longest time
I believe it's when a horse get's stuck when they're laying down. Like their legs get caught under a stall door and they hurt themselves by trying to get free
You are correct.
❤
so sad.
When a horse is stuck in a lying position their blood flow is compromised, and then their organs will start to shut down sadly this is what happened with this horse.
whats cast ? I've never heard that before ?
Don't keep horses in stalls
f^^k you, creep
