It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of our beloved stallion Ritz "n" Rebel. He was a two year old World Champion Walking horse, who was purchased by Dr. Joe Alvarez as a five year old. His wife Betty showed him to many blue ribbons in the Pacific Northwest. Ridge Creek Farms acquired him and Ritz became a leading sire at the Farm. I currently ride one of his son's, "Customized by Ritz" as my personal mount as I give riding lessons. His legacy will go on as 3 of his progeny are expected in the next few months. We will miss you Ritz and so will all our brood mares who lived beside you in the pasture.
