Storm Cat Packs It In

- Tired of being blamed for contributing to an ever-weakening breed, Storm Cat has called it quits. "For almost 20 years, I've faithfully cranked out foals which have earned you horsemen a fortune in the sales ring and on the breeding farm. Yet whenever something goes wrong, you point your fingers at me. Why would you spend millions for my kids if you think they all have bad knees? Perhaps you should look in the mirror. In any event, you won't have Storm Cat to kick around anymore." He added that he's looking forward to settling into a monogamous relationship for his remaining years.

Storm Cat entered stud in 1988, and is 25 years old. I'm guessing that we won't have to contribute to his retirement fund.
