VERSACE - An Untimely Death, An Incredible Legacy

[ferretsrok125]

my amazing horse is a versace baby♥

[TatianaMarie2]

I just heard, his best son, DA Valentino passed on a few nights ago. He was in surgery and when he woke up he went crazy. They had to put him to sleep. This is so sad, at the age of 8 an incredible stallion dies, just like his father died young. This is heart breaking for me as i always wanted to see Valentino. He will be missed by all who knows about him.

that is so sad i cryed becuse i have a love for horses he was a butful arabain horse that just so sad iam so sorry i know hard it must be to lose something you loved you will always be in your hart .

[Scarlettified]

Im gonna miss seeing him at shows :(

[LadyEsori]

Da Valentino is among my favorite Arabian Stallions. I had no idea that Versace had died! What a terrible loss =(

[1ilaura]

I haven't seen a foal out of Versace that I haven't liked. Bugatti is probably my favorite Versace son.

[mhippey]

I recently acquired one of Versace's sons. His name is Peroni and I absolutely adore him. They are so beautiful.

[Sharon9624]

What a breath taking stallion I feel lucky to have been able to see him when David Boggs presented him at the Scottsdale show. They sure had a magical bond!

[chanj1950]

Breathtaking! I don't own an Arabian and I am really touched by your video. I can only imagine what a blow this was to the owners.

[Superhorses890]

He was the grandfather of my Arabian.

[BreyerFan090]

:( I Miss him well ive never heard of him before lol but thats soo sad!

[karliizzy]

I miss himso much he was the greatest arab stallion that lived I wanted to breed my mare to his son Bugatti

[MidnightStar780]

My Arab is 13

[my0arabs]

Beautiful tribute to a wonderful stallion. I just got a Versace grandson and I am happy to have part of his legacy!

[bladeofbattousai]

I didn't know he was gone. Such a tragedy. He should have had many more years. Why are the good ones always taken far too soon?

[arabianlover25]

he was a beautiful stallion i got to work with one of his babys i liked the horse very much picked things up very fast an was willing to try what you wanted an DA Vinci is one my favorite stallions right now im sad that Versace is no longer with us.

[khnotakhlue]

He was such an amazing horse

[victoria5506]

I cried for quite a long time after I found about his death. He was such a sweet stallion! I'll never forget the day I met him.

[angelkissedu]

He is really pretty.

[Dreamsaar]

trapt?

[FireGirlG]

Aww Dang! You found it! That's my typo that I mentioned in the description.

In my defense, the band spells it that way. And that's what I was thinking of when I typed it. So by minor technicality, I didn't misspell it, I just used the wrong one.

[777farith]

nice tribute-have a few of his babies

[IQ152]

You forgot to mention that he was CIDs positive.

[FireGirlG]

Why would I mention that in a tribute video? Most people knew that anyway, there's no need to harp on it.

[IQ152]

I personally know that Versace's owners truly loved him and would have done anything to save him. They took great care of him and I hate that they lost their beloved stallion. As for his contribution to the Arab world, well, lets say I have not been impressed. He has sired some pretty offspring, but no real athletes. Low trainability as well... Resulting in a ton of mediocre horses and thousands of new carriers of CIDs. JMO

[jessicaanne9]

many of his babies have proved themselves to be very good athletes and very trainable as well.

[painthorselover101]

@IQ152 do you mean SCID?

[EveryonesQT]

@IQ152 what is CID? I am a quarter horse gal..I only know HYPP :P

[HendrewenPrince]

very touching video, Versace was a wonderful creature. May he rest in peace

[RAWWWRRRRRRRR]

I never realised this had happend it was such a shock for me that whilst the first few photo's were appearing I was crying :(

what a sad death for him

lets hope his foals do him proud spesh DA Valentino,DA Vinci FM and Odyssesy SC

[tifa2733]

Whats the song name please tell me...

[FireGirlG]

For the record, I did put it in the credits what songs I used. But to save you the trouble of waiting until the end, I'll tell ya: The first song is "What Are You Asking Me?" (I also closed with this song), and the second song is "The Gravel Road" (starts at 2:20). Both songs are from the soundtrack to the movie "The Village."

[tifa2733]

OMG why did he have to die...why...he was such a beautiful horse and he was so much more..god I feel empty...

[ponypall808]

beautiful horse. very sad to see him go.

[pursangarabes]

qu'el est le titre de la musique s'il vous plait

merci d'avance

[eponiaswill88]

they are in your heart and await you in the heavins above. amen.

[sheratonfegler]

Isn't it hard to see them go, the mares and stallions that marked the modern arabian horse.. Thinking about Versace, Padron, Sanadik El Shaklan. Especially Padron, since he was named junior champion in my own country. This stallion had it from his youth. It's truly difficult to see them go.

[cochinb]

Thank you, this was very touching and I am happy you did it..For Versace....Rest In Peace

[jujuibi]

Very good!!!!!!!! I love horses.... Beautiful video.

[FireGirlG]

Thanks :)

[Animalluv12]

I was very sad when I found out he died. I was lucky enough to visit him and his babies at Rojo Arabains. I got to say he is something to see in person very handsome stallion and sweet they let me go into his stall and pet him. One very sweet stud.

[xolaura33]

hey FireGirlG. was this horse ur horse~versace? because he is beautiful!!

[FireGirlG]

No. I wish he was... He was owned by Rojo Arabians. A link to their website is in the description.

[pinkrocksaus]

What a devastating loss! It's so hard when a seemingly immortal stallion like Versace passes over as they leave such a special mark on your heart. So sorry this happened. R.I.P. Versace. xx

[funnylikemybunny]

Wonderful video. Such a great stallion- I just purchased an aristocrat mare, and I wanted to breed her to Versace. Versace died on my birthday- such a large loss. He was such a wonderful horse.

[FireGirlG]

That's so sad. I'm sorry. I think you can still buy frozen semen though. I don't know how much it is, but you may want ot look into it. I know they must have some because they sold a breeding to him at the Scottsdale Signature Stallion Auction after he passed. It was the highest sold breeding of the night too. It sold for like $50,000.

[funnylikemybunny]

Yes, I think I will look in to that. Thank you. You make such incredible videos, I love all of them. They are worthy of the incredible sallions they pay homage to. Thanks for doing such a great job. You have such an incredible gift.

[FireGirlG]

Thank you so much. I can't tell how much that means to me. : )

[FireGirlG]

@funnylikemybunny Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like them. =)

[xolaura33]

Oh wow. your horse died on your birthday? That's so sad. I'm sorry to hear that. Was Versace the horse in the video? Or was Versace another horse? Can I comment you on your page? And can we be friends~FireGirlG & funnylikemybunny?

[musiclover740]

I love both this video and the Padron video you did. You have an amazing talent that many would love to have. I didn't know much about Versace, but I did follow Padron. I only started learning about the key figures for the breed 2-3 years ago. It wasn't until this video that I knew the huge impact that Versace brought. Thanks for your BEAUTIFUL work!!!!

[FireGirlG]

Thank you so much. :)

[pursangarabes]

a dieu louloun:'(

[whoalillowe]

to Rojo Arabians. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know the empty feeling it leaves when you lose a 'family member'. He was an amazing asset to the Arabian breed and will never be forgotten RIP Versace

[BabyKluvsYA]

when i heard he died

i got so sad

i'm so sorry

[rojoarab]

Thank you. It is nice to know he was so well loved by many. We miss him dearly, and are honored to have known him. He was our child.

Sincerely....Rojo Arabians

[FireGirlG]

My deepest sympathies to you all. I understand completely what this feels like. We had a lovely *Barich de Washoe/Azraff-bred mare that she was carrying our stallion's very first foal. She foaled a beautiful filly, but about 10 hours later, she twisted also. We had to trailer her to a hospital 2 hours away. When she got to the hopsital, she had already ruptured, and we lost her. Thankfully we have 2 of her daughters, the one by our stallion, and a Legacy of Gold daughter.

[sedonasong]

What a moving tribute to a wonderful Arabian stallion. Thanks for making this touching video.
