Please read the story of his passing today at <http://inrepose.com/

for Patti and others there too.

Rem had just turned 25, was to be one of the Celebrity horses at the  
two eastern Equine Affaires this year, which would have been his  
forté, he always loved to show off.  He and Patti had a long,  
fulfilling partnership in the show ring, and on the trail.  He was  
awarded the first W.A.H.O. trophy for the US at the 2006 Arabian  
Nationals for his accomplishments, and Patti rode him in, attired in  
his endurance tack.  He stamped his offspring with great minds,  
trainability, people-centricity, long hips, smooth gaits and a ton of  
"want to".  I feel lucky to have two of his kids, to have ridden him  
and to have lots of happy memories and even one where he did  
something unprecedented in my experience--stayed down flat tangled in  
his reins and martingale after a horrendous flip on trail while I  
treated Patti's broken wrist, both bones, until I asked him to get  
up, must've been at least 10 minutes.  Another  time I remember  
driving out to Death Valley so that my riding buddy and breeder of  
HCC line horses, Jim Kinder, could meet him to decide whether to  
purchase a breeding I owned, and we met them at a vet check and at  
the finish line.  They were one of the last teams to finish, in the  
dark, and Patti had his blood tested as part of the Pride Project.  I  
took him for her back to the trailer for untacking, etc., and Jim was  
impressed at the gleam in his eye and spring in his step, Rem was no  
spring chicken then, and bought the breeding on the spot.  :-)
