Haras de Hus Makes Statement on Death Poetin
January 24, 2006
 Haras de Hus, owner of the late international top
mare Poetin, has finally released an official statement
concerning the tragic death of the mare. The press
release mentioned the following information:
"The Brandenburg mare Poetin arrived at Xavier Marie's
Haras de Hus in Petit Mars, France, on the evening
of September 3, 2005. On December 13, 2005, the eight
year old world class mare was put down at 16.05h at
the farm.
From the moment she descended the lorry at De Hus
in France, the Sandro Hit x Brentano II daughter showed
clear
signs of laminitis on both front legs. From this point
onwards everything was done at Haras de Hus to cure
this mare. With the help of French and German veterinarians,
farm managers Peter and Manuela
Stuber and Xavier Marie combined forces to save the
life of Poetin. One of the therapeutic measurements
was hanging the mare in a trolley system to
relieve her from pressure in the legs.
All help to cure the 2003 World
Young Dressage Horse Champion failed. On the basis
of a severe case of laminitis, which developed into
the beginning of the shedding of both front hooves
("Sohlendurchbruch" and „Ausschuhen“),
it was decided to put down the mare.
Those who have known Poetin, know what it is to loose
such an extraordinary world class horse."
