5/2/04...A great one has passed away today.   Skips Two Storms, AQHA 1995 Palomino stallion.  He had a heartattack early this a.m.  The customers that have bred to this great stallion can attest to what we knew and loved about this stallion....he passed along his great sensitivity, calm knowing nature.  He was the most sensitive, personable, smart horse we have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  Stormy...you were wonderful and we miss you terribly!  Dan and Peggy Fultz, Prism Paints and Quarter Horses

“Nothing is Forever”

“I’ll lend you for a little while
My grandest foal, He said
For you to love while he’s alive
And mourn for when he’s dead
It may be one or twenty years
Or day or months, you see
But will you, till I take him back
Take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief
You’ll have treasured memories
As solace for your grief,
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from Earth return.

But there are lessons taught on earth,
I want this foal to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over,
In my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,
With trust, I have selected you.

Now will you give him your total love?
Nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come
To take him back again?
I know you’ll give him tenderness
And love will bloom each day.

And for the happiness you’ll know
Forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for him
Much sooner than you’d planned
You’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And someday you’ll understand.
