That's too bad. He was a beautiful boy! I went and saw him a few years ago while we were in town for Rolex, and he was gorgeous! I couldn't believe he looked that well at his age.

My condolences to all at Mae's Way.

[spacely]

How sad. My condolences. I almost bred my Trakehner mare to him a few years back. RIP. :(

[Rubs Not Pats]

He was my horses' grandfather. I am very sorry to hear this. Condolences to everyone. We have lost another giant.

Sincere condolences on the loss of such a wonderful stallion.

[Halfhalting]

What sad news. My condolences to all his people. :(

[Ladybug Hill]

Condolences to all.

I always wanted a foal by him but it just never happened. It is hard to see the greats go.

[Fenway]

What terrible news. He was such a great stallion and I drooled over many of his babies. Condolences to all at Mae's Way. :(

[Kinsella]

My condolences to all at Mae's Way as well... He was such a grand old man and he will be missed.

[SchoOff5788]

He was so amazing! I have had the opportunity to ride and break a lot of his babies and they are my favorites by far.
RIP Schonfeld! :cry:

[Blue Yonder]

Condolences to Mae's Way. I hope it is some comfort for them to consider how he'll live on in his progeny.

[maxxtrot]

so sorry for all involved.
we have a schonfelder gelding- not sure if he would be related to this guy.

[Hocus Focus]

I went to see him last year. He looked amazing. This news is terrible. I am so glad now that I got to see him. He really looked fantastic right to the end. Mae must be devastated. She loved that ole boy.

[Fairview Horse Center]

Very sorry to hear this. Such a nice boy who made a big impact on the Hunter world. Hope there are lots of daughters to carry on his blood.

[Bugs-n-Frodo]

Oh, I am so sorry! :( Condolences to Mae and Pat. Like Anissa said,he WAS a grand old man.

Deepest sympathies to Mae and everyone at Mae's Way Farm. Last year we were lucky enough to purchase the fantastic broodmare, Silver Queen by Schonfeld directly from Mae. The mare has been such a treasure to us, and now she's all the more precious. In dealing with Mae, I was so struck not only by her affection for her grand old boy Schonfeld, but also by her kindness. A wonderful lady, and I'm so terribly sorry for her loss.

[Schiffon]

Oh so sad. The recent issue of the American Trakehner magazine has a great series of articles about our senior citizen stallions, including Schoenfeld, mostly written by their owners. I was struck by how much these horses have become a part of their family's lives. There was a great picture of Schoenfeld in the ATA booth at Equine Affair. Not in a stall by the booth, but actually IN the booth, with the brochures and tables, etc! People were so amazed to see him there greeting them.

[Beezer]

Very sorry to hear this. We loved our filly by him. What a grand old stallion.

[coriander]

My condolences as well - truly a grand old man.

[Jim Knopf]

RIP Schonfeld. My heart goes out to Mae's Way Farm.

[seahorse1]

I just heard from Mae that they will be doing a coast to coast toast for Schonfeld tonight at 9:00p.m. eastern time. Anyone that wants to join in is welcome, choose your own beverage and wish him a fond fairwell.

[Horsecrazy27]

so sorry to hear. :( Rest in peace boy!

[can't re-]

My condolences to Mae's Way and to all who loved and cared for him.

[SidesaddleRider]

Very sad.
I never met him in person, but our Schonfeld mare is just wonderful.
RIP. :sadsmile:

What a great idea!!! I'll raise my glass of red wine tonight in honor of a great horse.
