IN MEMORIA DI CHOCOLATE CHIC OLENA (1993* 2022+)

  All'età di ventinove anni è purtroppo mancato a fine gennaio  - laid to rest -  Chocolate Chic Olena, stallone QH classe 1993 (Smart Chic Olena per Jae Bar Felcia) che fu terzo al Futurity Open del 1996.  Fu inoltre SR Reining World Open  Champion AQHA assieme ad Andrea Fappani. Il cavallo aveva anche superato il ML di dollari nel 2017 entrando di diritto tra i Top Sires.

Tra i suoi figli più noti troviamo senz'altro l'italianissimo CHIC MAGNETIC (144K in arena e oltre 100K conquistati dai suoi figli).

Così il proprietario Carter M Smith ne ha dato nei giorni successivi  annuncio sui social:  "One week ago, Chocolate Chic Olena was laid to rest at the age of 29. I’ve been trying to find the words all week to express what this horse means to me. He was my heart horse…. My once in a lifetime horse. He was my first real reining horse and he set the bar very high. He had a huge heart and the athletic ability and mind to match. Max, I hope you are up in heaven with Darren. He will be happy to see you. Thank you, Tish, Jeremy, Luca, and Andrea Fappani, for taking care of Max for almost two decades. He was able to live out retirement being treated like the King he was. Chocolate Chic Olena meant a lot to so many people. I want to thank everyone that helped us along the way".
