Why do they have to post updates? They're dealing with injuries and maybe deaths of their horses! Give me a freakin' BREAK!!
...i just wanted to follow if there was more news. my bad.

The statement I shared the connections said it in an article I read. There was no post. However here's an update on Twitter seems the horse turned a corner so to speak

Fantastic and shows just how resilient a horse can be. No trouble loading after going through that horrific incident, amazing. Wonderful seeing him looking so good and enjoying life, when they didn't know if he was going to survive a week ago.

Sedation and horses can be an interesting thing....horses can burn it off pretty fast, as an exuberant Vitement shows. Not sure how happy his handlers were watching him go from 0 to 60 in seconds, when they are probably still concerned about his health.

my mare had to be sedated a while ago for HA injections and all she did was stare into nothingness all day

CNN piece on transporting horses to the DWC. Rolled my eyes a bit at the reference to Sheikh Mo as “an avid horse racing fan”
