Thank you all for your kind comments. We are all doing good and just trying to take it day by day. He will be missed. Karel Loved working with his horses and helping everyone with theres. Thank you.

Karl was a very kind man and i was shocked to hear about this tragic accident. He had a great sense of humor and always kept us laughing. He was a good horseman and was very attentive to the horses care. When i first met Karl i asked him what his last name was, and he said, "it doesn't matter you won't remember it anyway" - but i never forgot it and was very sad to see it on Standardbred Canada. I will definitely miss seeing you at Victory Lane Karl.

SadlyMissed you will always be remembered in our hearts my prayers go out to your family

You will be missed by all around the farm and the horse comunity

It's just shocking! We spoke to him on Saturday and next thing you hear is that he's gone! He was a good man and he loved his horses. Our sympathies go to his family.
