Good luck!

Hoping Bob is ok... that didn't look like a good pullup.

Right rear pastern. Didn't break through at least.

Jingles for him... I hope the xrays give them hope.

Bob Le Beau had to be euthanized. Heartfelt sympathies to Elizabeth Voss and The Fields team.

Damn shame. Have a big spot in my heart for the jumpers. That was as fine a horse as you'll see over fences. Condolences to all those connected to him... Highest highs and lowest lows.
