We are profoundly saddened to announce the untimely passing of the esteemed 2018 Multiple World & National Champion ApHC Stallion, Tel N Tales, affectionately known as "Walt," of Beck Farms. His unexpected departure has left a void in the hearts of all who knew him, particularly the Beck Farms family, where Walt held a cherished place as a cornerstone of their breeding program.
Throughout his illustrious career, Walt's remarkable achievements spoke volumes about his exceptional talent and presence in the show ring. Among his numerous accolades are the titles of 2018 World Champion Open Weanling Stallion, 2019 Reserve World Champion Open Yearling Stallion, and 2019 Reserve World Champion Non Pro Yearling Stallion. In subsequent years, his legacy continued to flourish, marked by accolades such as the 2020 Reserve World Champion Open Two-Year-Old Stallion, the 2020 World Champion Non Pro Two-Year-Old Stallion, and the prestigious 2021 ApHC National Champion Open Three-Year-Old Stallion.

Walt's impact extended far beyond the show ring, as he served as a beacon of excellence and inspiration for breeders and enthusiasts alike. His exceptional lineage, coupled with his unparalleled build and demeanor, made him a prized asset for Beck Farms and a symbol of the ApHC's rich heritage.
As we mourn the loss of this remarkable stallion, we find solace in the enduring legacy he leaves behind.
