"Shivaree"
This guy is really
special, but he is also special needs.
I walked in the barn and was waiting for
the trainer to get back when I felt
someone gently poking me in the back. I
turned around and there was this guy,
"Hey lady, how 'bout a scratch?" I
said, "What a nice horse you are, big
boy. I really like you." As it turned
out he was the one I was there to
help.
Katie his trainer loves him and
it's easy to see why. He's packed with
personality and he loves the
world.
In addition to being a
racehorse, he's ponied horses and she's
even taken him to Seneca Park and hacked
him.
He's over 16.2 hands and 7 years
old.
Here's the problem, he's got an
apical fracture of the right sesamoid
and requires four months stall rest.
His chances of mending well are much
better if he gets out of the track
environment where he wonders why he's
not going to the track to train each
day. The prognosis is trail/riding
horse. He definitely has the
temperament for this line of work.
I
do want to mention that he was sound
while walking over to the area where I
took the pictures of him. He was also
extremely cooperative considering he had
not been out of the stall since this
happened.
