Caressing, what a great mare. In addition to West Coast, I have followed Gold Hawk (by Empire Maker) who was still running at 10 yrs of age, I believe. Have always followed the progeny of Honour and Glory since they go straight back to Man 'O War and Caressing was one of the best. Running in the Lord's meadows now.

Unfortunately it is a disease that doesn’t fully go away. His heart to beat it the first time was incredible. Now he is pain free in Heaven running with the herd.
I hate Laminitis so much!

His death from laminitis really got to me: I thought (obviously wrongly) that he had battled and beat the dreaded disease of laminitis. You point out it doesn't really go away and I was not aware of that.
