![]() Great job by yourself and Scavs! As a racehorse lover, an advocate of re-training the racehorse and one who also dabbles in horse rescue, I appreciate all the effort and expense you have put forth. It is extremely admirable that you cared for this horse enough to save him. Thank you. I hope you didn't have to shell out $3500 for him, but if you did it will still be worth it to know you saved your favorite guy. I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so this may have already been requested,,,,,but I would love to see some pix!
again, thank you, Suzanne |

![]() Just a quick update because DC is busy. I spoke with the actual vet of the horse today and it possible that there is a sesamoid issue now. What is also amazing that while I have spoken to the racing secretary and assistant racing secretary, and had the assistant racing secretary broker the deal because the f'n trainer wouldn't answer his phone yesterday, the 2nd the vet went over to xray the horse, on DC's dime, the trainer of the horse was calling my phone number wanting more money, wanting to know who is paying for the horse now(his day rate) and all money upfront.
We are not out of the woods yet and probably won't know more until later today ![]() ![]() |

![]() Maybe if you share his phone number with us and we all call him hundreds of time we can make a difference....well, maybe after things are settled

The word that I got that he was okay, was given banamine(?) and will be getting bute tabs today. He is weight bearing and bedded down heavily. The vet will be reporting back to me for when he thinks the horse will be ok to be shipped. |

![]() LOL, good you're talking to him, Tom, because I'm sure I'd go off on him, which probably wouldn't bode well for ole Nopie. Well, it sounds like he might be okay. That's a big relief. Talk about a rollercoaster ride. Don't think I need any more syrup and tears, but a two-finger pour of Woodford Reserve might go down well.

![]() Another quick update. Everything has been finalized and Nopie will be shipping out of Fonner Park Monday or Tuesday to Turf Paradise, and then from Turf Paradise to his retirement home in NoCal
I have yet to get final word from the vet (probably around 6pm) but feel alot better then I did this morning. |
