St. Charles Park District, community grieving loss of draft horse 'Doc' kcchronicle
Doc was a Belgian draft horse, born in 1992, who spent the final 13 years of his life educating guests at Primrose Park in St. Charles.
Doc came to Primrose Farm in 2010 at age 18, which Jones said could be considered a full life for a horse of his breed. Before coming to St. Charles, Doc worked at Heritage Farm in Schaumburg and earlier Wagner Farm in Glenview. Doc had worked with Bob for 13 years. Jones said the two horses were best friends and spent nearly all of their time together.Jones said they are monitoring how he does without his partner before looking to bring in a new horse, a long time from now. The only definite plans are to keep Bob at the park as long as he's healthy.
