Old age took this dear boy from me last night, July 6, 2008. Romeo was a fine gentleman. He was a perfect warhorse who loved going into battle and never did anything wrong. I could put a novice rider on him and not worry or he could give an expert a helluva ride. If there ever was "bomb proof" horse, he was it. He will be greatly missed.

I rode Romeo on my first mounted battle at Lucedale, I was scared to death but he had a way of making you feel at home on his back. I will always have a special place in my heart for the best war horse I ever rode into battle. I will miss you my friend!!!

This beautiful steed was obviously very loved and trusted. I know he will be deeply missed by his human friends. GOD Bless you ROMEO!

I rode with Romeo at many engagements. He was an excellent animal. No complaints. Soon enough we will see him at Fiddlers Green.

16 6th Alabama Cavalry's Senior Warhorse, Romeo. He enjoys it, but he got tired this time so I think I'll retire him to pleasure riding status only.
