We are sad to report that Good I Will Be, the three-time AQHA World Champion stallion by A Good Machine and out of Miss Trophy Dash, was euthanized November 10. Good I Will Be gained near celebrity status after he was purchased by Sandra Morgan in September, 2012 through the U.S. District Court-ordered Rita Crundwell Dispersal Sale.
Owner Sandra Morgan and trainer Stephen Stephens posted this quote on the famous stallion’s Facebook page Monday.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share some very sad news
with all our fans. Willy had not
been feeling well lately and has undergone extensive veterinary care. Where he ultimately ended up at Texas
A&M University Veterinary Hospital.
He underwent surgery for a kidney stone but did not recover well from
surgery and had to be humanely euthanized yesterday. The horse industry lost one of the great ones. And we lost
one of our family. Words cannot
express the sorry we feel. But we
are grateful for the amazing team of veterinarians in Weatherford, Texas and at
Texas A&M University that did all that was humanely possible for him. Willy was an amazingly stoic animal and
was a true champion to the end.”
Sincerely, Sandra Morgan and Stephen Stephens, Dry River
Ranch
On behalf of GoHorseShow.com, we send our deepest condolences to everyone involved in the life of this great stallion. He was an asset to our industry and will be missed.
