Tavistock Dies at Cambridge Stud

Media Release - Saturday December 21

Cambridge Stud reported eight weeks ago that Tavistock suffered a life-threatening injury in a freak paddock accident.

Although he made significant progress from the initial injury, he sustained secondary complications following further surgery last week and was put down on vets advice this afternoon.

We want to thank our vet team of Dr. Rob Hitchcock and Dr. Alanna Zantingh of Cambridge Equine along with Dr. Ric Redden from Kentucky for their extraordinary efforts to save him. The Cambridge Stud staff have been nothing less than heroic in what has been an intensely difficult season for them.

Tavistock’s legacy will live on through his many sons and daughters. He cast a giant shadow at Cambridge and he will be sorely missed.
