"Festus", as he was called by so many who knew him throughout the years, passed away in January 2009. We had acquired a partnership in Plenty Dividend, which we shared with Jerry Jeppson from Crowheart, WY. Festus was a full brother to Plenty Try and was a very massive blue roan stallion standing right at 16 hands and over 1300 lbs. He was a true work horse in his day, ranched, competed and then would be turned out with the mares at night and rounded up the next morning to work again. When we purchased him, he was a very well behaved and polite older gentleman and still riding.
