Oak Grove Anysia, aged 27, died in her sleep the night of Christmas Eve.Anysia had many foals, including Kuno, Samo, and Elora at Brightfields, andJulia, Donald, and Saturn at Dixie Meadows in Virginia. After Anysia was diagnosed with Cushings disease a few years ago, Sid coaxed her back to vitality. Always preferring pasture to stall, her gait remained notably elegant. Sweet and particularly curious, she had the expressive dark face and luxuriant mane of the Tarpan horses bred in this region.

Anysia was born on the farm of Stephanie Jones in Ideal, Georgia. As a young mare, she lived at Pleasant Hill, the farm of Chad Grizzle and his family in Sylvania, Georgia. She lived there with Pleasant Hill Heidi, and later, also with Heidi, on the farm of Julia Bright.
