Turbo
Turbo was the inspiration leading to the creation of Pferde
Farm. Turbo was an exceptional horse who
would easily jump a 1.75m course, compete in
steeplechasing, dressage and eventing.
Barn Name: Turbo or Turbocharger
Vital Statistics: He was a wonderful part of our lives
for nearly 25 years. He was about 30 y/o when he
passed quietly in his sleep on April 13, 2006 due to
old age.
ID Tips: 15.11/2 black appendix gelding with 3
white socks, deep chest and powerful hindquarters.
Idiosyncrasy: If you were afraid of him and entered
his stall, he would pin you against the wall until help
arrived. Turbo would often fall asleep in the cross-
ties while being groomed and you could influence his
dreams or elicit responses by imitating sounds of
nature.

----------There must be a sweet pastured place
----------Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
----------Some paradise where horses go.
----------For the love that guides my pen
----------I know great horses live again."
