DEEPLY MISSED
Goodnight God Bless My Beautiful boy

17/5/2004 - 21/6/2009


 

You will be very sadly missed my dear little man. What a small thing you were when you were born and
look what you achieved, a legend in your own lifetime, thank you for everything, I will miss you like you never know.
Your Legend will live on in your children.  "Gone but never forgotten".

Robert Cockram.



How true the above is.
Indeed Johnny has left me with a wonderful Legacy, quite literally in his offspring. 
He was destined to be a great sire but we do have several
of his foals almost ready to show.

 If those who would like to see us leave the breed think their bullying will win,
how wrong they are. 
We have been through to much to quit now!


Below are the lovely tributes paid to Johnny. 

Thank you all so much!

 

He was a legend!!!!! and will always be known as one of the best stallions that took the miniatures of England to another level!!!!

                                        ----------------------------------------------

Johnny certainly left his mark on the miniature world, a super little donkey winning many championships, and leaving behind many of his
offspring who I am sure will follow in his footstep
                                       ----------------------------------------------

Johnny was a great ambassador for the miniature donkeys and took on and beat standard donkeys in the show ring.

His crowning glory was when he was made Champion at the Royal Highland he will be sadly missed.
                                    -----------------------------------------------------

He was a great donkey, and has left a wonderful legacy.  You were privileged to share his life.
                                    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I am so upset to hear your sad news. All our sympathy for the tragic 

loss of your lovely boy. It is desperately bad luck. 
He will always be remembered here as a very special  little chap

                                   --------------------------------------------------

He sure made his mark early and in a very big way.  I will always be so very, very proud of him.       
                           From his Breeder Rhetta McAlister

 

                                  ---------------------------------------------------------------
He will live on in his babies and in your heart forever
                                          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 

There is nothing one can say to take away the pain, except that with him you took miniature donkeys in the UK to another
dimension and that will be his lasting epitaph.


That truly is Sad News and I am very sorry for you and John, Thankfully you have this years and next years foals to continue his legacy
                              --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was a true star!  Hope you're OK

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I am gutted for you - he was no more than a babe - he was a wonderful little man and will live on in our hearts for ever.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was such a wonderful jack, feel sad with you.

---------------------------------------------

am so so sorry. It was a brave decision that you took but I know it was the right one. It is such a waste.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am both sorry & shocked to hear your sad news! What happen your special boy?
