RC El Dinero, the 27-year-old starving Arabian gelding rescued by Beauty's Have in Florida on June 2, 2007, died at 8:00 AM this morning. His body was unable to overcome the effects of starvation as he battled Cushings disease, diabetes, and leg problems.
Although he had appeared to be steadily improving, he began to fail two days ago. Around 2:30 AM, Nick indicated he wanted to walk around the paddock. Theresa Batchelor, owner of Beauty's Haven, helped him get up and let him walk around to see the other horses. He was apparently saying goodbye.
Later in the morning, Nick led her to the back of the barn, when he proceed to lie down. After a whinny as if to say, "Thanks for everying," he placed his head in her lap and passed away.
Nick was loved by thousands who read of his plight. May he rest in peace and frolic with Barbaro.
