Official statement from Cindy McCraw…
Tears are falling at Riverside Ranch for the loss of the stoic stallion My Final Notice, fondly known as Carson. My Final Notice was a World Champion Producer, Congress Champion Producer, Superior Producer and National Leader’s List Producer.
For Cindy, the dream started in Sultan, Washington with the grand sire of My Final Notice, the legendary stallion Dynamic Deluxe. She traveled the nation with My Final Notice’s sire Dynamic In The Dark to become the NSBA leading limited rider with the stallion being the leading two year old in the nation that year. Carson was shown and won many titles with Stephen Stephens on board. My Final Notice was a third generation of Dynamic Deluxe a very heartfelt and important bloodline to Cindy.
On January 27th, it only took Carson laying down for Cindy to become concerned as Carson would rarely lay down. After an initial veterinary on farm call and treatment it was decided within that hour to take Carson to a surgery center for a closer evaluation. After palpations, ultrasounds and belly tapping, the veterinarians could find no reason for the pain to be increasing the way it was. During the exploratory colic surgery a Enteroliths stone was located and severely stuck in the small intestines. After many hours and extreme efforts, it was not able to be relocated and thus being close to the attachment of the body was not able to be removed. Cindy held his head and stroked over his eye until he was gone. Donnie and Cindy McCraw as well as the entire Riverside Ranch family will miss him greatly.
