Susan Hall, as well as being a devoted mother to Sarah and her brothers and Nan to Amy and Ellie, also managed to be the most untypical mother in law to David. She was a very special lady.
Although no longer with us, Susan's legacy can be seen in many aspects
and areas of Sovereign Quarter Horses. She was invaluable to us from
the beginning, having an extensive background in horses, showing. She was always very calm and cheerful,
yet a solid and sensible sounding board for ideas. She also possessed
an excellent eye for a horse, and was very interested in the breeding
and bloodlines of all horses, but particularly in her later years, our
American Quarter Horses.
The names of many Sovereign bred horses came from her agile mind and
many of them were very clever in having special meanings for what was
happening in the world at that time. For example, Snippanenglands
Rose, was named after Princess Diana died in 1997. Jays Hot Shot Story
was named in recognition of the New York Fireman after 9/11, as they
were called "Hot Shots", she simply (and rather cleverly) substituted
"Hot Shot" for "Smokin" (from the Sire's name Jays Smokin Story) -
Clever huh?!
Susan was an integral part of Sovereign Quarter Horses and her help and moral support is solely missed.
