We are deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of Go Big Sky, multiple Congress Champion, NSBA World Champion, and Select World Champion. “Marcus” was the beloved companion of Rodger Call and the pair often excelled in their favorite Over Fence classes and Pleasure Driving.
Call and Marcus have competed for quite some time under the guidance of Chuck Briggs, who shared this sweet sentiment on his social media page.
“Marcus was truly a one of a kind horse, not just because of his accomplishments with myself and Linda Crothers but really because of his accomplishments and joy he brought to not only his owner, Rodger Call, but to anyone who ever watched them show. That duo couldn’t help but bring a smile to peoples’ faces. Marcus was kind and forgiving, although he made his dislike of barn 8 in Oklahoma City known, and we all listened to it. To the end Marcus did his job for Rodger, and this past year in Florida finished qualifying for the 2020 Select World Show. There will be a void left with his passing, but we are all so grateful for the time and opportunities we had with him. He will be greatly missed.”
