Stood I'Anson Blink Bonny Stud, Malton until in 1919 Blink Bonny Stud was dispersed and John o' Gaunt was sent to the historic Sheffield Lane Paddocks for a year, before its demolition, and then he was placed at the Meddler Stud near Newmarket. On January 7th, 1924, although in perfect health, "and for a veteran, extraordinarily vigorous," he was ordered destroyed by Sir George Thursby. His death "decreed because so few breeders were sending mares to him." He was twenty-three years old.
