Obituary – All Colors My Papa
Tuesday, May 21, 2024
On May 7, 2024, All Colors My Papa was laid to rest. He was owned by David Keatts and family. During his life he was shown by Bobby Hugh, Debbie Wells, Dalia Smith-Harr and finally by the Keatts family. He was trained by Lynn Keatts at Oak Crest Stables in Gretna, VA. He won many shows in the VirginiaNorth Carolina circuit including wins at Asheville and Tazewell, VA. He lived the last 12 years of his life in the pastures at Oak Crest Stables where he enjoyed being a companion with other horses. He was the horse of a lifetime for the Keatts family and will be missed. Thank you, Colors, for giving us the best shows we ever had.
