The BEA are deeply saddened by the loss of the beautiful Soca Kid and send our love and condolences to Adriana and the entire Big C Stables family.

The beautiful Soca, a successfully retrained thoroughbred by Adriana, shone in show jumping, dressage, and the FEI Eventing Challenge.

With his cheeky, larger-than-life personality, Soca had a special way of leaving an impression on everyone he met. He will always be remembered fondly by our entire equestrian community.

Rest easy, Soca 🤍
