Champion mare Winx is recovering well after tragically losing her first foal last week.
The legendary nine year-old had been in foal with a filly to super sire I Am Invincible and had been in the late stages of her pregnancy.
Just over a week after the heartbreaking event Winx’s connections have sent out a video on social media of the wonder mare to reassure her thousands of fans that she is on the road to recovery.
Winx received a special visit from two of the people who spent the most time with her during her illustrious career, her strappers Umut Odemislioglu and Candice Persijn.
Enjoy the footage of Umut Oemislioglu and Candice Persihn’s visit on the WINX – Official Facebook page.
