Amigo
In the heartwarming tale of Amigo - the cheeky, lovable colt who etched his joyous spirit into the hearts of all who crossed his path.
Born around the 20th of November 2017, Amigo was more than just a colt - he embodied curiosity, mischief, and boundless affection. With Pocket Rocket and Misty as his parents, he inherited their adventurous spirit and magnetic charm. From the moment he entered the world, Amigo's presence was like a burst of sunshine, lighting up the mountains with his infectious energy and playful antics.
Michelle affectionately dubbed him the "fairy mate in the mountains," drawn to Amigo's irresistible charm. Whenever a camera appeared, he was there, nose in the action, eager to join. Amigo was the ultimate larrikin, a mischievous Mumma's boy with a heart of gold and a love for life that knew no bounds.
Whether with Ash or causing mischief with Bogong, Amigo's zest for life was contagious. One memorable day, Ian found himself knee-deep in snow at Three Mile. Curious as always, Amigo trotted over, surprising him with a playful love bite on the leg, demanding attention. That's just the kind of character Amigo embodied - always full of surprises and curious antics. His friendly encounters were legendary, like when a passing car with a boat in tow caught his eye. Slowing to a stop, Amigo trotted over, nosing around the boat with unabashed curiosity, even sticking his head in the driver's side window, amusing everyone inside.
He was a true-blue little mate, brightening even the gloomiest days with his infectious charisma. But alas, tragedy truck on the 7th of February 2019, when Amigo's life was tragically cut short, presumably from a snake bite.
Though he may no longer be with us, Amigo's spirit lives on in the memories of all who knew and loved him. May his curiosity and playfulness forever echo through the mountains of Kosciuszko National Park.
