"I will dearly miss him as he was the most kind and trustworthy character you could imagine." I love to hear that kind of tribute. With a good temperament and soundness, a Thoroughbred can succeed at many different jobs, even if he doesn't make it as a race horse.

With all the great stallions available now for breeding, it just makes no sense to breed to a bad-tempered, nasty or downright dangerous stallion. What a loss Indian Charlie's death is.

My thanks to you, Ian, and Ben Henley for reminding us of what we lost in the premature death of Indian Charlie. I only wish that he was a bit more appreciated earlier in his career-as he was the complete American stallion and, perhaps, our best at the time of his death.
