It’s the same with any human, you could die at any second.
Sometimes your time just runs out

You still leave your teeth out for the fairy dont ya Speedy

Yarraman Park Stud's Hinchinbrook dies following exercise accident

Son of Fastnet Rock broke a leg on a walker at Hunter Valley farm

Alydar had a more than suspicious death and yet it was superficially like "blowing up a gold mine".  Against that, thoroughbred's can be so accident prone it is unbelievable - the Aussie Stock Horse seems bomb proof in comparison.

One of life,s little mysteries ?? 

Is he a stallion ???

Well we also say an average life for a person is somewhere in the 80's now.  Lots still die in childhood and that's not because they served too many mares.  Honestly accidents happen all the time with horses.  I once saw a mare going out to be served (non thoroughbred) who reared up at the wrong time hit her head and dropped down dead.  I've seen horses galloping in paddocks mistime there stop and hit the fence etc.  I seen horses just playing around and slide over. They don't just sit and desks and type all day.  They play and run and the stallions really get around their paddocks. So stop with the imaginings and pity the stud loosing a stallion which they have looked after.  Reports this morning about a racehorse just arrived in Australia from New Zealand who has died after scouring.  They get sick also just like people do.  Life is full of dangers.  More for them but you can't just wrap them up in cotton.  They'd probably overheat in summer and die of heat stress!
