So very sorry to hear of the death of Mr Schembri. We met him briefly at the World Appaloosa Show, Fort Worth 2009. A lovely man and a great loss to the equine world. My sympathies to his family and friends.

I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of Doug Schembri. He as well as Char-O-Lot Ranch have done wonders for The Appaloosa Industry. He and Sue were always so kind to me in my days of showing Appaloosa's back in the days of The Everglades ApHc, Tropical ApHc, & many more. They were not my trainers, but, they always, always treated all exhibtors and fellow horsemen with respect. May God be with you Sue, Jennifer, & Sean. RIP DOUG, you will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Doug's death...he was an outstanding horseman.

Sue, Jennifer and Sean;
I am truely sorry to hear about your husband and father. What a great loss to you and the Appaloosa industry. You will be his voice now, to live on his dreams just like you have always done for him. He is keeping a close eye on all of you and he is with you always. God Bless you all.
