RIVERMAN - RIP

I was so sorry to receive the news of Riverman’s passing. I always enjoyed seeing his beautiful head peering out of his stall window when visiting at Hilltop.

He was an exceptional stallion…may he be running free and young with Contucci and Royal Prince. His influence will live on for generations.

I am so sorry to hear this. My heart horse (profile pic) is a Riverman daughter, and she’s the most wonderful, talented horse I’ve had the honor to own or show.
I know he will live forever in our hearts and through his progeny. My heartfelt sympathies to his people at Hilltop.

Sad news, even if 30 is a good age…it seems like just yesterday I was a teenager drooling over the first ads for Riverman in the Practical Horseman ‘Stallion Issue’ (Remember that yearly issue!), that absolutely striking dapple gray. What horse mad teenager wouldn’t :slight_smile:
My sympathies to Hilltop, 25 plus years is a large part of any farm’s fabric.

Thank you. B and B I love your phrasing re: being a part of the farm’s fabric. That’s a perfect description of the profound impact Riverman has had here.
