But according to his owner, "he's got plenty of bone. , .just very correct." :roll: He's a half to McLean's Music, so they know the risks--but MM has done okay so I can see the appeal. Sort of.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

G3W and young sire Speightster euthanized after suffering an irreparable injury to a hind leg in his stall. Formerly at WinStar, he arrived in Canada in January after being purchased by Jay & Christine Hayden to stand at Northern Dawn.
Ugh. Really sad news. The future was bright.

So sad. I wonder if he was insured. Or if Winstar would help them out at all in a goodwill gesture.

Well, they certainly have no shortage of lighty raced stallions who will only ever stand a few seasons there. But this guy was signifigant pedigree wise to the Canadian market too. A real shame, just a few weeks out from the start of covering season too.

It's insane that horses are so powerful that kicking a wall while frolicking can break their own legs.

Rabbits can kick their hindlimbs out so powerfully, they can break their back.

You literally could wrap them in bubble wrap and they'll still find a way to kill themselves. We have a horse who is kind of a huge jerk and kicks the walls whenever he is pissed (always) and has literally knocked an entire 8 foot by 12 foot tongue and groove partition wall out of the metal slats that held it in place.

Speightster had just been transferred to this new farm, and I wonder if he was upset from being in a new, strange-smelling stall. :? :(

Crowding the edges of a small ring full of agitated stallion is a risky choice. I remember the video of a young Slim Shadey NAILING a cameraman right in the middle of his lens when being walked around a saddling paddock in Britain. With a perfectly-aimed hind leg. :shock:
Horses are amazingly accurate when they want to be. :twisted:

Bad boy. Looks like he was trying to get his leg over the lead line.
