It is with I very heavy heart that I have to report the sad loss of Milford Funtime a pony of a lifetime for many people.
"Basil" was a true gentleman who was adored by all who new him. Although diminutive(only 12hh) he had a huge heart and character. He was one of the most consistent M&M workers of his day winning RIHS and @ HOYS where he was also champion, quite a feat for a 12hand pony.
He was lucky to spend the last 2 and half years in retirement with Pat Potter who started him out on his road to fame as a 4year old novice and it was a heartbreaking decision for Pat to send him to Heaven when his illness got the better of him.
Sincere condolences to Pat and the rest of the family who couldn't have loved and treasured a pony more than they did.
RIP Basil, a true superstar!
