Photo by Paul Rutherford, a big donor to his bail and transport to his new home, who went to visit him yesterday. What they learned yesterday is that Bean has a definite opinion about peppermints: He doesn't like them.
Glad Boston Baked Bean is doing well. And a great big thank you to Paul Rutherford and everybody else who helped make it all happen.
AHR had been looking for, and finally found, her dam: Blonde Fever. She's privately owned, but not in good shape. AHR is currently looking not so much for money to save her, but for a home for her. AHR is full up. Read more here:Catalina wrote:I thought that Blonde Bounty sounded hauntingly familiar. And, indeed, she also was rescued from... Lancaster? recently. Unfortunately, she did not make it, even though things did look promising to start with. If you follow the AHR facebook site, you may remember her as "Sophia".

Between the transport and the final death march waiting for their turn in the kill box, hearing those ahead of them die, they would have gone through days of hell before dying a nightmarish death. And no, it wasn't a humane end even when it took place in this country.Sparrow Castle wrote:Good to hear, thanks! RIP to those who couldn't be saved.
EA Ranches, now home of rescue Tribal Legend, has agreed to take Blonde Fever (who, btw, is herself a stakes winner). AHR now fundraising to pay for transport.second_glance wrote:AHR had been looking for, and finally found, her dam: Blonde Fever. She's privately owned, but not in good shape.

Yes, he is.Catalina wrote:Jenny did a wonderful job with that. Isn't this the horse that was sent to a layover place for a racing injury and then mysteriously acquired this additional injury?
Holy jesus.second_glance wrote:The leg injury to 2yo Punxsutawney Phil, as Jenny Earhart found it on the day he arrived into her care:
Jenny has done astounding work with this.
Day 22 of treatment:
Makes you wonder just what happened there - a little horse tripping practice, or what? Also, how many other horses that were sent there to heal from racing injuries and took an unexpected turn for the worse.second_glance wrote:Yes, he is.Catalina wrote:Jenny did a wonderful job with that.

It's bone.BaroqueAgain1 wrote:When I first saw that photo, I was torn between closing my eyes while I cried...and staring at the image of that mangled flesh, trying figure out what I was seeing. Tendons? Bone?!? Dear god.
That 'Phil is still alive...and that his leg has healed that well is a small miracle...thanks to an angel named Jenny.
Brings to mind the skunk that adopted Norway and Trophy Case from RMR. Wonder whether the skunk obtained the horse under false pretenses, in which case the previous owner might be able to file fraud charges.second_glance wrote:At the auction in Turlock, CA, last night, at least 2 older TBs were pulled: Regal Sal and the mare Lou's Suzie Que.
