1987 Brown (Registered Bay), 87% NFQHA Certified
AQHA-UK Breed Show Winner, 1989 Best 2 Year Old Stallion
by Tuffy Dude (aka Waccabuc) out of Empirita Moonlight. Luke had been graded, and awarded the rank of BQHA Select Stallion, by the now defunct British Quarter Horse Association. That was during the period when he was owned by Shiela Fitzpatrick. After winning at the Breed Show on his first and
only time out,
Lunar Lucre (known at home as Luke) remained a working stock horse and stud horse until his retirement in 2009. At two years old, he was calmly carrying sheep on his back, along with John Goodliffe, on the sloping hills near Cowbridge. Lunar Lucre at home:
Luke lived a quiet life, and didn't like a lot of fuss. He was content in himself, and was easy in all ways. He could be kept in a field with a simple piece of string, and was always a gentleman with everyone, including his mares - especially the young or maiden mares. He especially loved palomino mares, and spent his last days with the stunning palomino mare, Codys Whizper Lace, who doted on him day and night. Luke was a kind of horse that seemed to be trying to make everything as easy as possible for his owners. He never failed me in anything I ever asked of him. He was my friend, my business partner, and a member of my family. I commend his soul to God, and have faith that he will be well cared for until I get there. He has earned his place in Heaven. This page is dedicated to his memory with enduring love.
