| Orgulhoso with owner Frank Grelo |
We just received this sad news:
"Dear
friends,
Unfortunately I have some sad news
to share. Our Orgulhoso unexpectedly died this morning. I know how much of a
shock this is as I haven't even processed it myself. He was being his usual, war
horse self and my dad had to work him before passing him off to Taylor as he was
particularly ornery. After a near attempt at showing the other horses in the
arena he was still the boss of the barn (you can just guess what that looked
like ;) he took a sudden fall with Taylor on his back and passed shortly after
from, what my dad suspects, was a heart attack.
It is the
end of another era losing Corsario and Orgulhoso so close together. Thankfully
Orgulhoso has passed on his ever strong genetics to many of his offspring and
we're lucky to have a few of them in reproductive standing. The loss is what we
sign up for along with all the joy when we choose relationships with these
majestic beasts. We will surely miss the brute.
Most
tenderly,
Rosanna"
I had just finished a commissioned painting of him for a good friend Rachel Corbett. Orgulhoso was also the sire of two of the horses at Winsong farm: Zelador and Zeloso
