:'(Billy (Euro Bilko) and Orpheous were pts together on Tuesday. Billy was an ex racer, three day eventer and school master who taught me to ride when I was 40. He had been in retirement for three very happy years with my very dear freind. Billy began to suffer due to liver failure and was 17 years old. Orpheous however very sadly was a 13 years old warm blood who had never been started. He did not leave his mother until last year and was Billy's companion for the past 12 months. Orpheous's owner did not want him back and made the decision that he was to go with Billy to Rainbow Bridge. I shall remember Billy with great fondness and my heart goes out to John who has lost two very dear freinds. Both of whom he never had the opportunity to ride.
