Gaisha, an upper-level eventing mare, was euthanized in early May at the Sun Kissed Acres Retirement Farm near Summerville, Ga. She was 26.

When Mary Jo Herhold bought the Hanoverian mare (Garibaldi—Lemonade, Lemon), she was competing at the novice level. Partnered with Janet Andrews, Gaisha soon began moving up the levels and eventually found success at the intermediate level.

Gaisha was the U.S. Combined Training Association Mare of the Year in 1993, and in 1994 she was the American Horse Shows Association Zone 4 intermediate champion.
