Oh what an awful shame!!! :(

I have always heard nothing but the nicest of things about him

Huge condolences to all of his connections and I hope that he got a lot of mares in foal for 2010 foals ...

I have met this wonderful stallion and I own one of his offspring.
He was a truly spectacular horse to look at and had the kindest temperment I have ever seen in a stud.

The biggest puppy dog stallion one could ever imagine.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to everyone involved in this devastating accident.

Very sad about Fish. It's such a shame that he wasn't able to get more mares in foal, as the ones that are out there are very nice. We are extremely pleased with our 'Andy'; he's big bodied and solid like his daddy. We have high hopes for him, coming from such nice bloodlines.

With his good looks and lovely movement, Fish would have made a nice sporthorse stud, as well. He was a sensitive fellow, and loved routine, but always the gentleman. RIP, Fish!

Thank you everyone for your show of support in this extremely difficult time.

A special thanks to Chris Blake of Ascot Stud and April of Blazing Colours Farm for your quick response and help in my time of great need.

Gone Fishin was a class horse both on the race track and at home. Anyone who had the opportunity to have worked with him over the years were privileged just to have known him.

He was very happy here and we loved having him. Unfortunately regardless of their size horses are fragile and freak accidents do occur. He was humanely euthanized at London Equine hospital after every effort was made to save him.

He will be greatly missed around the farm and a very big hole has been left in all our lives.

I have not been on the board in a while due to my outrageous schedule both at the farm and the track. Hopefully his offspring will do us and him proud.
