During this tough time with the Covid 19 going on, we experienced a heartbreaking time with one of our employees Antonio Sosa Silva.  Antonio is a Hotwalker, hard worker, loved by all staff members, and mostly, loved by the horses.  Not only a Hotwalker in the barn, a brother, a role model, a fatherly figure.   The love he showed to the horses he worked with seven days a week can only show us how much love he showed to his family.  He worked seven days a week for his family and horse.  He is family and he is Horse Racing. He was a proud father.

Antonio would never ask for any help.  He'd walk into the barn, take care of his work, then continue around the barn asking if others needed help finishing up.

The other day, I walked into the barn and Antonio was hot walking a Horse.  For the first time, He asked me "Jack, doing you mind giving this horse a couple of rounds as I need to take care of something".   I walked the horse for 5/10 minutes but then had another staff member go and check on Antonio.  

The news was not good.  Antonios  daughter was murdered and they took his granddaughter into custody.  The hurt/tears from Antonio who was grounded at the time was heartbreaking.  We tried to pull together as a team but no words at the time could make Antonio feel better.  We are with him now and supporting him during this difficult time.

He has expensive attorney fees to fight to get his granddaughter released and back home.  During this tough time in the world, Antonio is going through this also.

Any donations would be greatly appreciative during this time. Under the circumstances the world is going through now, we want to show support to the people in need during this time.  Antonio and the people suffering from Covid 19.  Stay Safe
