We lost our Capitano foal early this morning

He didn't seem well in the morning, had labored breathing last night called the vet but he passed before she could get there. He wasn't even 2 months old yet. The owners of the farm are devestated as are we. We will miss him...................

Sorry for your loss. When we breed we have such high expectations for the foals and it is such ashame to lose them so early in life.

Very sorry for your loss winds. I know you must be heart broken as I see how much conviction you have for the horses you breed. Condolences for you and your family, 2 legs and 4.
