The original 'Trigger' has died.

The Human Equine from the USA, Trigger, the guy who has maybe been shoulder ridden the most ever, and has two fans here who share his name, has died. RIP, Trigger.

Re: The original 'Trigger' has died.

I am friends with a few people who knew him, including the publishers of an old magazine called "equus eroticus", though I only ever spoke with Trigger himself in a couple of emails, I thought he was "one of the greats of pony play" who helped to make it more publicly recognized. One of those friends told me.

This http://www.gofundme.com/48i9tw (New Window) was his Gofundme page. He was trying to raise money for heart surgery and dental work in his final year or so. I donated (not much!). maybe I should have told y'all here about that earlier.
It sucks that he was on hard times like that. It could be any of us.


Trigger the 2nd, my apologies, but I can barely even keep in touch with Gregoryan at the moment, sorry. Not able to chat to folk. Family issues.

Old ponies never die; they just gallop off to pastures new.

Re: The original 'Trigger' has died.

Sorry to hear about that. He had been around for a very long time.
Sad that people in some countries need to ask for money for a heart operation. sad

Re: The original 'Trigger' has died.

Nick, You are absolutely right. That situation is embarrassing. Basic health care should be a right not a privilege.

We pay higher taxes here in Northern Europe, but thank´s to that, basic health care is available to all and not only the rich.

RIP Trigger.

Re: The original 'Trigger' has died.

VERY sad Trigger is death, I e-mailed with him many times some years ago....

Yeah, I pay for my pleasure more taxes because I know hospitals and study are free to all people in Skandinavia. I think we can't count people's life in money. If I had known Trigger needed money for his healthy, I definetely had helped him even in small sum of money - but I didn't know that :-(

RIP Trigger.

Not only in northern Europe, thanks God, in France too, we pay higher taxes for a highly developped social system !! And, both in Northern Europe and France, it is not the BASIC health care which is provided for free, but especially the hi-tech medecine, like the one our friend Trigger couldn't afford in his country, apparently ...

I have a dream : There is a second life somewhere, and, there, Trigger will be, for ever, what he so wildly craved to be : A fine saddle horse.

Adieu, Trigger !

Re: The original 'Trigger' has died.

Well, I think what makes sense is insuring for those rare, and fantastically expensive treatments which no normal person is capable of paying for. The other day I went to a drug store to buy Fastum (something y'all carriers should be familiar with) but found out that the EU has delegalized it. Because it caused allergy in some small percentage of people or something.  You know the politicians are always rising the taxes and spending the money to make You feel like a citizen of the well run and civilized country. And then You read another heart-wrenching story about a child who needs 5 million dollars for a some experimental treatment which can only be performed in some clinic in Texas or California and which the national health insurance won't cover. Somehow I find it hard to believe that any health system pays for absolutely everything. But if it does, then good for You.

Anyway it's weird. I thought he was a qualified software engineer, and living a healthy lifestyle. He could carry tall women for hours.

Plus he was a celebrity. Perhaps in the small world o f Shoulder riding only. But still. He new people.

And then he is in need for 1000$ dollars for heart operation. And then he's dead.

I'm speechless.

Re: The original 'Trigger' has died.

OK, we will not discuss politics more... There are lots of interesting things we could discuss regarding politics but unfortunately it would just divide people here and cause a bad mood. Let us focus now on our beloved subject shoulder riding.
