It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of the beloved mare Certainly A Maiden, known lovingly as Charlotte. A daughter of Certain Potential and Maidens Investment, Charlotte was a graceful and accomplished presence, a 2x Reserve World Champion producer, and a treasured member of the Jacobsen family.
Owned and adored by Becca Jacobsen, Charlotte wasn’t just a broodmare—she was a true friend and barn favorite. Her vibrant personality, loving heart, and unwavering presence made her a caretaker to the young and a joyful soul to all who knew her.
“It’s QUIET around here without you,” Becca shared. “Not yelling at me for your dinner, not standing in the field looking beautiful, not babysitting all the littles. You were everyone’s friend, and I MISS YOU.”
Though her passing has left a profound void, Charlotte’s legacy continues in the most beautiful way. Thanks to the incredible efforts of Jessica Duffy, Garrett Streit, and the professionals at Vita Nova Reproduction Center, two embryos by Fiire N Ice were successfully frozen before her passing. These future foals will carry on her exceptional lineage and the love she inspired in everyone around her.
Becca expresses her deepest gratitude to the team of veterinarians who cared for Charlotte with compassion and respect, and to the friends and family who have offered their support during this difficult time. “There will never be another one like you, Char,” Becca says. “I LOVE YOU.”
Forever loved, never forgotten. Run free, Charlotte—you were truly one of a kind. 🕊️
