I just read on Facebook, he was euthanized this week. :-( he was what, 31 years old? What a special stallion he was and definitely left his mark in the horse world. 

I watched a cutting event probably five years ago where they presented him during an intermission.  I was a little disturbed at how overweight he was.  It made him look like a Shetland pony as he was a very small horse.  We just sold a grandson of his, heeling horse.  He was an amazing athlete just like his grandpa.

I saw a picture of him someone took, he was little bitty for sure! Looked sway backed but I suppose the age had some to do with that and he was chubby but looked happy. 

When they announced he was there I thought I was going to be looking at a horse all dressed up for the prom and amazing.  He actually looked like they had just dragged the little fella out of the pasture.  

Aww, another legend lost. He's up there in the big green pasture cutting cattle as we speak I bet. ;-)

What an impact he left though.  Over $80Million in progeny earnings and grandsire to $179Million.  The impact of just 1 horse!

The Western Performance Horse world lost a legend. . . 

I could only find that they euthanized--was it age or did something happen?

We saw him at the 14 (I believe) Futurity, and he was beautiful.  Tiny, but beautiful.   The legacy he left is unreal.  

I'm just assuming by saying this but I think it was age related. 31, that's pretty up there in horse years! I bet he lived a fine life and his owners cared deeply for his well being. 

That's kind of the way I took it also.   He seemed to be the king of the world when we saw him that night.   So many people were crowding around him, but he just took it in stride like it was his due!

There's a lady local-ish to me that owns my gelding's sire. She's got a hunk of a colt who's a half brother to my dude. BUT she's also got a sorrel filly that's High Brow Cat bred through her sire line and her sire is a NICE working cutting horse. 
I keep telling myself I need to wait till next year. But.....
