Thanks so much for the updates. Be a good boy Tin Man. Yes, he definately deserves to be spoiled....

What a great update you give so much info Thanks. glad to hear Tinny is feeling better.

Still being a model patient I hope?

Hey everyone,
Sorry its been a little longer than usual, my computer crashed so Ive been dealing with that .
Tinny is doing good , the swelling in his hurt leg is looking alot better and he now gets to have the bandages off for about 15 to 20 mins a day to let his leg air out . We are still icing him 3 times a day and he is getting trentol for his feet twice a day and they seem to be holding sway , some mornings there is just a bit of heat but nothing to be alarmed about at this point.
Someone sent him a card the other day with a check enclosed for 20$ for carrots and mints which is just the cutest damn thing I have ever seen. We are all still amazed and feeling blessed for the outpouring of love for him.
Yesterday I pulled his halter back and was scratching behind his ears and his eyes went to half mast , he was so calm and relaxed , I kissed him bellow his eye about three times , as I couldnt help myself he was just so calm . I really think above anything he enjoys the scratches the most , we dont give him many treats because we dont want him to get too excited , and as always Richard touches and pets him more than once a morning , the old horse just seems to know how sorry he is that this all happend because he always hugs him with his head . Thanks again folks for everything , we so much appriciate your cards and well wishes , if you want to send him anything just send it to the Santa Anita stable office c/o Richard Mandella and they will bring it to the barn .
Thanks again and Im sorry I was late with the update .

Thanks for the Update Honu. I am glad he is doing good. Sounds like you all are giving him the love he needs:D

Honu,
Thanks for the updates.
Tinny is also in my thoughts prayers. Fight!!! Tin Guy!

Like you said, if one of these puts their head in the crook of your arm...
I know that feeling. Shucks, one of the fillies would have climbed into my lap like a little kitten if she'd of fit.

Give Tinny a mint and a scratch behind the ears for me.

Thanks for the report, Honu.

Good to see he is still the model patient.....Thanks...

Thought this should be bumped...How is the old guy doing? Any new updates? Happy Thanksgiving Tin Man...

Still keeping him in my thoughts.:)

I hope he is still getting better:D

any news on the old guy? hope it all good news .

was just thinking about him earlier. wonder how he's doing. hopefully as good as ever.

Last I heard he was doing well and they had started to handwalk him.

C'mon old man...we all love you. Please be a good boy for us...please do not break our hearts...

I turned on TVG on the sunday before Xmas and I heard my girl there talking about him on how things were going smoothly. Obviously if Honu sees the thread we will get a better update than that :)
