Introducing Chance..
Born December 2025 Stedinger x Bellario/Capone
This c**t has literally been years in the making, and he has defied the odds to be here after a battle throughout the pregnancy to hold off a severe placentitis. He was born with a residual sepsis (and only just over half the placenta not affected by the infection despite agressive therapy) and then after everything getting crypto scour which landed him in hospital for awhile at 6 days old 😅. Many thanks to my clever colleagues in medicine at Scone Equine nursing him through when he got too sick to manage at home and my owner brain was not coping with also trying to be the vet 😅. He is looking every inch a special horse for the future, and I’m so glad Helen encouraged me to fight when it looked hopeless at that 14 day scan and I was ready to give up! Ceylee has been a fantastic mum, it’s nice when one of your homebred girls grows up and you get to watch her have her own foal, and a flash one at that 😍. He was born the day Springside announced the passing of Stedinger, that in itself makes him just a little bit special..
