We are saddened to announce the loss of Seve, 1995 Tennessee Walking Horse stallion (Prideโ€™s Generator out of Doctorโ€™s Lady) owned by Dr. Barbara Utermark (Martinez, GA). Seve passed quietly on May 2nd and was laid to rest at the Whitaker farm next to his barn mate, MTSUโ€™s foundation stallion, Hey Dare. Seve was trained by Allen Forman to become a two-time Reserve World Champion Aged Stallion. Seve sired multiple World and World Grand Champions, and many Tennessee Walking Horses in the MTSU herd carry his bloodlines. Seve stood at the MTSU Horse Barn for over 18 years under the care of Jeremy Carlton, with whom Seve had strongly bonded during his time standing at Saddlecrest Farms. Our deepest condolences to Barbara Utermark, Allen Forman, and Jeremy Carlton over the loss of a truly great horse. Please share your favorite pictures and memories of Seve in the comments!
