Orange County, CA: 7-8 y/o Thoroughbred Gelding- Needs Home!

By

We received a call that a local stable has a 7-8 year-old Thoroughbred gelding who was abandoned by his owner.  Apparently she moved and decided it was too expensive to move him, and too much trouble to bother trying to find him a home beforehand.  The woman has signed him off to the stable, and they called us to see if we could take him instead of sending him to the auction.

There is apparently a superstition on the racetrack that says that if you throw … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Brutus, Our Latest Rescue

By

Many of you have asked for a Brutus update - we have some wonderful news! On Saturday, Brutus got his feet done by our farrier.  He was good (for not having had his feet done in a long time, anyway). They will need a few more trims before they are back to normal, but at least things are now headed in the right direction. On Monday, our vet came out to assess Brutus for a geld. EXCELLENT NEWS! While only one testicle is descended, the vet could feel the other one, so he can do a regular … [Read more...]
