from same ownership of cannington brook, separate incident, sadly reported to have died in freak accident
rip

Such a shame for both horses, and what incredible bad luck for the owners too.
RIP boysdoesn’t anybody else find it strange that both these horses died on the same day? anybody has more info on it, where were the owners when this happened?
Not heard any more about this. Original report says one died of ‘an equine disease’ and the other died in the paddock after/during a storm. Not sure if they were both trained in the West Country, but don’t know anything about the owners.
Update on Marshal Zhukov and Cannington Brook.
Cannington Brook was at home with his owners on his summer break when he managed to tread on a nail. It penetrated the joint and the tendon sheath in his hoof. After 3 general anaesthetics to try to control the infection it was decided there was no chance of recovery.
Marshal Zhukov was back in work with his trainer ready for the coming season. He was turned out each afternoon with his usual friends, and while he was out he managed to fracture his hind cannon bone. It is not known how he did this. His trainer is devastated, as are his owners, who had had both horses since they were three-year olds.
A very sad coincidence for both boys.
