I am so glad that Wise Dan is healthy and living the life of retirement with someone that adores him.

"You know, so many of these racehorses come home with big old ankles and they have no life after that,” LoPresti said. “He’s going to have a life, and that was a goal of mine. I wanted him to have a normal life. We can do a lot of things with him.”

Enjoy Champ!!

Loved the laying out of the truth she did in her FB post. Drop the mic after that, Barbara. It ought to be required reading for anybody who thinks a horse should be retired without knowing anything about the situation or thinks that when they are retired that it ought to be to some public situation or to be someone else's 4H pony instead of wherever the owners darn well please and where the horse is happy.

Seeing "The Dans" made me smile. Really enjoyed that.
