I have been casually following the Prestige Stallions shut down. Haisfield, owner of Prestige, is 80 years old and suddenly closed the farm because he was retiring from the business. That being said, he left a lot of horses suddenly without homes, etc. Several of them, the own stallions in his barn. I am not sure if the care of the horses was also shut down but I do know that area horseman local to Prestige took to social media pleading for help and to find horses homes that needed it. I saw the social media posts and it seemed kind of desperate?
Suntracer was one of them. Who was bought by his consignor who sold him through the 2015 sales as a stallion prospect. They quickly sent a trailer and had him brought to Kentucky. (See Bloodhorse for article on Suntracer)
That leaves many other horses besides Suntracer who were left without homes. I am not sure what broodmares/yearlings/etc were on the farm and where they landed but this seems like it was a complete mess.
However there is a handful of stallions that I have been unable to trace where they landed.
