08.01.2022 I've created a google photo album of Greg's awesome life and love of the wild at Birdwood Downs. One can add photos and share with others. A finer friend one could never find.

07.01.2022 It is with the heaviest of hearts that Hans and I write this to tell you that our dear friend and colleague, Greg Hay, passed away yesterday in Perth where he w...as undergoing treatment for a recently diagnosed acute form of Leukemia. Greg was a man at home in the savannah, light on his feet, and in sync with the horses. He leaves behind many who loved him, who learned from him, who laughed with him. Still absorbing the shock, we will let you know when we can gather at Birdwood to remember and celebrate his life. Hans could use a friend or two right now, please give him a shout at the station. I'm arriving June 23 for long planned trip and will see you all then. Deborah Parrish Snyder See more
