Last year John came back to the barn to "meet" Klink. I even lent him a book on Hogan's Heores that he never returned. I was realistic in my expectations of Klink but thought after he won the MSW last Summer that we might have a decent IL Bred for a few years. But, things went downhill with his health and it's obvious he can't race anymore. As Tom said, we have a great relationship with a farm around us that finds good foster homes for any of our retired horses.

Holly and I are working on the finances such that when he's done with his retraining we might be able to take him over and keep him at the farm where we have our other horse.

EPM is such a horrible disease, let's hope he can beat it.

You need to message me then because he is going to this adaption facility before the end of the month. He is out of our control then as we relinquish ownership to him.

You might want to talk to Chuck before considering this.
