It is with sadness that we report the death of Dorchester on July 22. Dorchester was a fabulous foundation sire for us, and has left an indelible mark on the stud through his many daughters who are breeding on for us. Dorchester's health deteriorated rapidly from Monday night and by Tuesday morning the vet made the final decision. Dorchester has been buried on the stud, near the stallion paddocks. A memorial plaque will be erected in his memory.
