Bred by Suzanne Eves, the same woman who bred our beloved Khaptivatin' Bey, Khassi came to us by happenstance. Well, one look was all it took to fall in love. Kim purchased Khassi as a two-year-old and started her under saddle. In 2012, Khassi was winning championship after championship on the A circuit in Working Hunter and Sport Horse. She made her debut at Sport Horse Nationals in September and was a superstar! She was the most winning horse of the show. She was also the only horse to have earned a Legion of Masters in a single year.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our beautiful mare Rakhassa Bey on October 2, 2012.

Over the previous weekend, she colicked. We took her to the vet clinic where they found a fatty tumor that caused her small intestine to kink. They removed the tumor and 4 feet of her bowel. She came out of surgery well, rallied then seemed painful again a couple of days later. The vet went in again and found 2 more kinks involving a 15 foot length of her small intestine. At that time we made the decision to let her go.

We are so grateful that we had the privilege of owning this sweet angel of a horse, if only for a short time. We miss her terribly.

"My hearts is still so heavy at the loss of this sweet mare! I met Khass as a two year old and fell completely in love with her beautiful face and sweet demeanor and purchased her on the spot. She was always a barn favorite, and so willing to please you at whatever she did! I watched her grow up, and showed her many times, and am so glad that I made the decision to sell her to Alexis a year ago so that she could go on to achieve the greatness that she was meant to! I am so greatful that I got to go to East Coast Championships and see her for what I did not know would be the last time. I still can't believe that she is gone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to Alexis Starer Doughty, Bill, and the entire Bayview family! She was angel set from God to achieve greatness, and will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her! She will be forever missed, but the memories of what she achieved in the last year will always be remembered!" - Kim

"She was such a sweet girl. I am grateful for the years I spent with her. Kim and I often rode Khassi and Rain together as youngsters. They had some of their first shows together too. Such a tragic loss." -Cassie
