It was Beth Benard and Janie Murphy that planted the seeds for this profile.  Before I knew it, Ann Scussell, Bonnie Mae Padula (Savage,) Margaret Caramore, Jerry Kipp and Kathy Gregory-Salvo were "on board" as well.

I never had the privilege of seeing this grand stallion in the ring, but it's not hard to imagine what it was like, based on the excitement of those that participated in this interview.  What a loyal fan club this fellow had!

Thank you to Bill Lutz and daughter Bonnie Smith as well - it's your love for this horse and willingness to share him with others that have made this such a fun story to tell...

So join us in stepping back in time, as we reintroduce that brilliant Park stallion that electrified those that were either fortunate enough to ride him, or watch him ring side....

This is the story of Oldwick Crusader, or "Wick" to most all that knew him.
