Winston Himself, an accomplished upper level event horse, was euthanized on Jan. 30 after a bout with colic. He was 28.
From humble beginnings as a barrel racer, owner Susan B. Wainwright purchased him for $1,200 as a 5-year-old. A Thoroughbred-Quarter Horse cross, Winston Himself could do anything, said Wainwright. He was also a lover of doughnuts, cotton candy and hamburgers. The 16-hand bay gelding was a favorite around the barn.
