*Euralea Eleazar "Zar"
2004-2010
On January 6, 2010, Zar was taken prematurely from this world. His passing is a tragic loss not only to Steve, but to La Plata Arabian Stud and the entire Arabian Horse community.

Farewell Zar
Its a painful time when you lose a four legged friend. Tougher still when you thought you were far from the end.
That neigh I'd hear when passing his door, you're late again, I'm your number one chore.
He'd snicker and prance then the great blow, it was all just an act, part of the show.
Most would say that he was better than me, there was no doubt, and I'd be the first to agree.
No prettier face, no purer of heart, we said our goodbyes and now we must part.
A lock of his mane and photos and such, looking back on it all he gave me so much.
When I grow older and near the trails end I know I'll be with my friend again.
Now my silver steed is up in heavens skies, when you see a shooting star you'll know he's passing by.
Farewell Beloved Friend, Steve
