R.I.P. Samber

[markvannunen]

Samber, the most influental coloured stallion ever, is no longer with us.

His owners, the Vrieling Family, had to make the difficult decision to put him to sleep as he wasn't able to get up on his feet any more.

Samber has become 33 yrs old.

Indeed, RIP. A legend.

Without him, many of us would not have had the pleasure of having such lovely quality coloured horses.

He maybe gone but he will certainly never be forgotten.

Sad to hear, what a legend though.

A legend indeed, a truly great sire that will live on in his many offspring.

[Sambertino]

RIP Samber - a legend in coloured horse breeding.
We have 3 generations from Samber now - his son Sambertino, grandson Samaii & Great grand son Stevie Wonder, born this year - all have his superb temperament & they will hopefully be as successful & long lived.

There is a video of Samber aged 30 here
