I will see if I can see her this weekend, have a mare at Alamo Pintado right now, the prior hospital we took her to said they couldn't save her, took her to Alamo Pintado and they saved her, she's coming home in 4 days, this is one of the best Hospitals in the Country, I hope Potesta has the same outcome.

larhage, hope all goes well with your mare.

‏@BradFree1: Glad to report 3yo filly Potesta, injured Friday at BHP, doing well post-op, screw inserted in break, walking and putting weight on leg.

Thank you very much! Dr. Herthel is the best!

good. hoping for the best for her.

Yet another blow to the 3 yr old crop. It's sad.

Shocking news. Always thought Mitchell kept sound horses.

Sounds like she's doing well.

I hope yours is too. :)

Good news about Potesta :) :tro:

Thank you! My mare is doing great, will see her again Tuesday, saw Potesta as well, she was dozing and looked comfortable, I'll check her again too and see if I can sneak her a carrot ! :)

That's wonderful news!

Great sig Danzig, but I'm curious, why can't the retarded hen post till 2013?

he made another bet with dahoss. you'd think he'd learn. he lost, and the 'prize' was whoever lost couldn't post til next year. but we all know how good the rock is at keeping his word. i love irony.

and it figures, that as soon as you mention it, i'd have decided to change it.

Update: http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/novak...ely-story.aspx
