Versace...We will miss you!










Monday, Sept 21, 2009...IPH Dapper Dan Man aka Versace was put to sleep at Equine Sports Med in Weatherford, Texas. Versace was taken Sunday to Equine Med Ctr in Granbury, Texas because while at a barrel race he tied up. The doctors at ESMS found that nothing could be done to repair a stress fracture to V's left humerus. While, Brandon and I have only owned V for a year, we had already been through allot with him. From sorting things out from the past about him to getting him to actually run to broken bones. After gelding him he was finally starting to fire during a run and clock. We had just decide to keep him as my personal horse. We have one foal by him that will be born next year out of Gucci, and Ducheneaux Qtr Horses will have one. Ruby may be bred to him but I doubt it. He won Res World Champ at the PtHA 2009 World Show. He won nearly $2000 in the 3D and prizes. He was starting to place in the 2D and work like a Kbar horse. I already miss him terribly. I know Poptart does...He does not have anyone to fight with. The barn is empty without him. It will be strange to go to a barrel race without him in the front of the trailer. Here are some photos videos of him.
