It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we write of Golden Red's Copper Tomahawk's passing. He died this morning at 5:15 am knowing he was a very loved member of Golden Curls Ranch's herd.
Copper Tomahawk's mother Copper's D Golden Red is a Curly Mustang who was captured in Palomino Valley in Nevada during the BLM roundup. She was rounded up with her two year old filly, Nevada's Blossom, by her side. They left Nevada in April and we picked them up in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma on April 17th and brought them to Golden Curls Ranch in Kaufman ,Texas.
Golden Red is a strong and smart horse with wonderful mustang and mothering instincts. Copper Tomahawk was so named because like a Tomahawk his life was bittersweet. He knew the hardship and sharp edges his mother's life encountered and yet he brought a reassuring peacefulness to our lives. He was ...as our good friend, Marion, said; a gift.
His mother's difficult previous months and poor health lead to his premature birth. He was unable to stand and nurse and after several trips to two vets and 24 hours of IV solutions he gave us the strength to let him leave us peacefully this morning.
We will always remember Copper Tomahawk who raised his head and gave a cheerful whinny when we called out his name. He will always be remembered as our brave little Warrior.
