Growing impatient in the gate Spondulix kicked back with his right hind and it somehow got caught in between the doors. Standing on 3 legs, Dr. Verdarosa noticed what was happening and got the crew to get him free. He's scraped up pretty good but appears to be OK. We're lucky the 2 broke through because they may have sprung the latch with Spondulix still stuck which would have been a potential disaster. The cuts were cleaned and dressed and wrapped. Will post pic when I get home. More info in the morning of course. No one recalls a horse doing this. Bizarre luck. He had done everything perfectly leading up to the start. Thanks to everyone for coming out. Will get him back in for a debut as soon as he heals up.

Sorry to hear about this, Steve. I'm glad that a potential crisis was averted. He's a beautiful horse. I don't even want to think about what could've happened.

Spondulix appears generally OK this morning. Has slight swelling on the inside at the right hock where he suffered the worst of the lacerations. He only appears a little sore when walking. More later but it seems like he dodged a bullet as this could have been a mess had he really panicked.
