Your guess is as good as mine. Snapy Halo is 18 years old. Behesht is 11.
Both stallions sold to William Nicks.

I have an Invincible Spirit filly under lights who would be an incredible cross with Behest. Iām not using her this year. Anyone wanna take the chance?? Oh yeah, and sheās in Indiana too!
It seems that Nicks farm has them both up for sale according to their public facebook page.
It says nothing (that I can see, Iām not a member of Facebook) about standing the stallions.
Just took a peek. They definitely have both for sale, not standing at stud. As you mentioned.
Their sale posts, for anyone not on FB

Snapy Halo is such a good looking horse. Itās a shame I have sworn off everything with āHaloā in the name.
they have sold other stallions for dirt cheap in the past before as well. They do a lot of flipping cheap (but nice looking) horses who didnāt sell well at the big sales.
Hoping for soft landings for both of those boys. it honestly hurts my heart a bit.

Yup. I hope someone snaps up Behesht, and brings him to PA, Maryland or Virginia. He certainly seems like the sort that might produce steeplechasers. And he definitely would be interesting for sport breeders.

I might know somewhere that could be willing (and is well qualified) to manage a stallion for someone else. I donāt know what they charge but would believe it to be reasonable.
Behesht was sold to an Irish farm and is gone from us! https://paulickreport.com/news/bloodstock/behesht-moves-to-whytemount-stud-in-ireland/

Thatās nice. His bloodlines should bring him more mares there.

Thanks for the update. I hope he gets lovely mares in Ireland and lives a long, happy and healthy life 
Itās a loss for US breeders in my opinion (I get that heās not really viable for the US Tb market - but wow, what a lovely type and pedigree and distance breedingā¦ itās sad that there isnāt a market for this type of Tb here). But Iām glad itās a good outcome for the horse.

Just saw that Snapy Halo is standing the 2021 season in Virginia.

The farm where Snapy Halo ended up is about 20 minutes from me. Itās an absolutely beautiful place! Iām intrigued that the new owner plans to bring in more stallions. It would be pretty amazing if he gets one that Iām interested in breeding to so I donāt have to haul my mare to KY!

They ended up buying my Invincible Spirit mare so sheās heading to Snapy Halo. An A nick!
The last paragraph of that article was SHARP.

I think that heās right. I am also thrilled that the horse found a soft landing where he can actually thrive and have an opportunity to sire some nice horses.
