7:30pm update from Twitter
Wow - this horse is tough as nails.
Quote:
@JustinZayat Paynter update: Paynter continues to amaze his vets by his resilience, class, charm, determination, what a horse. Indeed he is so special.
Paynter has been walking comfortably all day. This afternoon his diarrhea resolved and he passed formed manure.
He was mildly uncomfortable when defecating, which is not uncommon in horses with colitis as the diarrhea resolves.
He has had an intermittent low grade fever but his blood work continues to be normal. He continues to be treated aggressively.
Please keep your good prayers and energy coming our champ is fighting and fighting hard
