Cody the legendary Greylands horse
Surviving to an age of 38 years, he gave both service and pleasure to many people.
Cody came to Greylands in the late 1980's . We were told he was around age 7 at the time - born early 1980's. Cody was a reliable horse, safe for many riders to have their first horse ride. He was also ridden on many cattle musters over the years.
Throughout his 38 years, Cody withstood many weather extremes - from frost in Winter to 45 degrees Celsius in Summer. He weathered the elements in thunderstorms, hail, windstorms, flooding rains, extreme droughts and enjoyed many good seasons too.
Many Greylands visitors will have very fond memories of Cody - either patting him, feeding him vegetable, fruit or bread treats or going for a ride on him.
Towards the end of his life he had special treatment living out his days and was no longer ridden once he got older. He had nutritional supplement horse feed and a rug to keep him warm in winter. At the end of 2020 sadly his age caught up with him and he had to be euthanised. While we do not know exactly when he was born, incredibly his age when he died in 2020 was around 38 ! This is a very long life for a horse. Cody had a great life at Greylands and was a dearly loved part of Greylands for many years. He gave farm service and pleasure to many people.
