In Memoriam Betty Ann Kennedy On May 3, 2016, the Miniature horse industry lost one of it’s leading ladies, Betty Ann Kennedy. B etty suffered several strokes in early 2016 and then passed peacefully with friends, her daughter, Helynn Clapp-Emory and grand-daughter, Lisa Pichler nearby. The farm, Gallery Originals in Arlington, Washington produced hundreds of quality foals, many of which went on to be AMHA National and World Champions. Perhaps the most famous horse purchased by Betty was the chestnut, Rowdy son, NFC Rowdys Champion. His $50,000 price tag reflected the commitment and dreams Betty had for her farm in December 2001. Her dedication never wavered, and her family will carry on with the offspring of her beloved minis and be shared with future generations. ® Mini Hay Pillow® Slow Feed Hay Bag; Designed Specifically for miniature horses Known as “Grandma Betty” to many, she was active with the Northwest Miniature Horse Club and will be sorely missed by many of her fellow Miniature horse enthusiasts.
