Equine Obituary - Jose's Diamond Doll
Tuesday, November 12, 2013


Jose's Diamond Doll was found lying peacefully in her stall yesterday morning at Kevin Gower's Stables. Jose's Diamond Doll was the beloved juvenile mount of Lacy Essary. Jose's Diamond Doll has been Essary's mount since 2010 and has given her much joy as well as many good rides. Their final show ring appearance was at the Allen Ingle Memorial Youth Specialty Champions. As a two, three and four-year-old and up until 2010, she was shown by Buck Williams, Guy Ben, Robert and Henry Findley throughout Georgia and Tennessee.
