I just spoke with the owner of Rio Grande and he did indeed die today of a heart attack. I just bred Meredith back to him last Monday and he looked fabulous as always. Terrible loss to the breeding community. :no:

OMG!!! Sorry to hear this!!! How old was he? Breeding stallions seem to go from heart attacks once they get older and are still breeding. He was a GREAT stallion! I hope they have lots of frozen semen on him.

:,( :sigh: Such a shame to loose such a wonderful Stallion. Sincere Condolences to the Walsh Family.
Rio Grande is a name that will go on forever in the Breeding Community. RIP Rio......Hopefully the Rio Grandbaby we have due any time will prove worthy of your part in their Pedigree.

I am very sad to hear this. :,( Rio was a beautiful and talented horse, and a wonderful sire. He will live on in his many babies and grandbabies.
He was 21 yrs old.
A grand horse, who has left an important legacy in the sport horse world, RIP.

Our Rio Grande Grandson has arrived this morning. "Grandpa Rio would be proud of this Grandchild". Baby is build like a Shermon Tank, with whites to the knees on all four,& a wide blaze which extends around his muzzle. This fella is already the size of a baby probably a month or so older. For sure a credit to his Breeding!!

Congratulations Starz. :cheer: :cheer:

Thanks for the :luck: Fred. I am hopeful and believe it or not, if Meredith is in foal to him I'm really hoping for another FILLY. :one: :one:

Of my horses, 3 of which are prospects, they're all girls. :cheer: Two "AFR" redheads :cheer: my sweet Quinn (Rio) and Rosie (Rio.) I guess I'm a mare person after all. :mallet:
