Poor baby - one horse that can lead himself to water. I wonder if anyone caught this on film. Happy to hear he's okay.

Wow. That is one lucky horse. So much could have gone wrong, in so many ways ...

Shipping News is available for adoption through TROT.

“He’s just a big 17.2-hand puppy dog; you can’t help but love him,” says Summer, vice president of TROT. “He’s not strong-willed, not fresh, not mean. He’s like a Great Dane. He’s a big, sweet, handsome guy.”

Easily the weirdest race I've ever called. Two Step Partner shied from the whip, jumped the hedge, dumped the rider and then jumped into the River Downs infield pond. Next time they brought him over, they ran him on the dirt so no hedge, and brought him over with a life preserver over his neck! He won!
