*Sydenham Nocturne
15 hh 1984 Imported Sec. D
Welsh Cob Stallion
1984-May 1, 2009

*Sydenham Nocturne, imported Welsh Cob stallion was euthanized May 1st
after being stricken suddenly with severe colic.
Nocturne was imported to Texas as a yearling in 1984.
He was out of the mare Sydenham Jonquil (who's still alive overseas),
by the famous stallion Llanarth Flying Comet
who won the Royal Welsh Championship an amazing four times.

Blessed with the temperament of a gelding, Nocturne led a full life.
Broke to ride and drive he was the once-in-a-lifetime horse for owners
Don and Lynda Lewis of Lyndon Acres who purchased him in 2000.

Nocturne was awarded the WPCSA's Sire Legion of Merit award in 2003.
He was only the second Cob stallion in the history of the WPCSA to earn said award.

With his incredible movement and loving personality, he was a favorite at Lyndon Acres.
Whether carrying students in lessons, Lynda in dressage clinics or
decked out in the Headless Horseman Halloween costume,
he will be greatly missed by all those whose lives he touched.
He lives on through his numerous offspring located around the country,
including two daughters and a grandson at Lyndon Acres.
He rests at Pine Hill Cemetery in Bowie.
