R.I.P Testimonial

Postby StealingKat » Fri Sep 05, 2008 11:47 am

Just when you think life is as hard as it could possibly get you get dealt another blow. This morning our wonderful stallion "Testimonial" died of a possible brain bleed. He died peacefully and with the quiet dignity he always had. RIP my beautiful boy. Hopefully he and Kissy are racing through the greenest of pastures together.
Always bet on the grey!!

I am so sorry Stealingkat. :(

He was loved and that's all a horse could ask for.

RIP, Testimonial! A tough, game runner who was making the most of his limited opportunities at stud, and a gorgeous individual to boot. So sorry for your loss.

Just bad timing in the cosmos. He was here in BC with us nothing to do with the New York mess. Totally natural causes. Thank you so much for the support!
