Your "friend" is a bad person and employee for sharing information about client horses. If the horse's owners wanted the information shared they would have done it.SukiSatsuki wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 10:08 pm tendon sheath abcess severe dsld non weight baring on his back left. all those years jumping mares

So....this info could be false? Or it could be accurate, but providing it is a breach of client privacy and shows not a scrap of professional integrity?.

Probably because they are unprofessional. What they did is illegal. So they are also a moron.SukiSatsuki wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 10:33 pmThe people there treated them like absolute dog crap soFlanders wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 10:26 pmYour "friend" is a bad person and employee for sharing information about client horses.

9x winner Harlan Ruler (Poseidon's Warrior) was euthanized recently due to ongoing health issues.
He raced entirely at Camarero and was rescued by the Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare group.
I also really like the picture they used for Flatter.

I can’t quite understand the above sentence, but if it’s true, I care far less about the friend revealing info than about Flatter !Flanders wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 10:26 pmYour "friend" is a bad person and employee for sharing information about client horses.

Flatter’s owners are Claiborne - of course they wouldn’t want this known. If I’m understanding this correctly, he injured himself servicing mares ? And Claiborne said it was due to old age? That doesn’t make me feel good about them at all.

Are you going to believe someone who said that their "friend" was angry at someone involved? If he had a non-weight baring leg then its most likely due to the A.P. Indy's being easy keepers. He didn't even look like a thoroughbred in his last conformation shot, he was massively overweight.Slewfan2 wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 2:46 pmI can’t quite understand the above sentence, but if it’s true, I care far less about the friend revealing info than about Flatter !Flanders wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 10:26 pmYour "friend" is a bad person and employee for sharing information about client horses.

I didn’t see his last confirmation shot, but then Indy never looked fat to me, so I doubt I’d have noticed. If he was as overweight as you say, what does that say about Claiborne that they couldn’t keep him in decent shape?Flanders wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 3:00 pmAre you going to believe someone who said that their "friend" was angry at someone involved?

Its not just Claiborne. Its pretty much every US stallion farm. I don't know if Three Chimneys and WinStar still ride their stallions like they used to, but exercise is something a horse needs. Especially a stallion who is usually heavily fed grain.Slewfan2 wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 6:50 pmI didn’t see his last confirmation shot, but then Indy never looked fat to me, so I doubt I’d have noticed.

Also I don't think there is anyway Claiborne would stand a stallion with those issues if they were chronic. Its dangerous not just to the horse but also handlers. If a stallion would fall it could kill someone. If he really had a tendon sheath abscess, then he most likely had sustained a puncture injury recently and bacteria got in. An infected puncture injury are hard to treat. If he was in extreme pain and wasn't responding they probably did the kindest thing and put him down.

I always loved how TC exercised Slew, often with Angel Cordero...it was good for him physically and mentally; I do think all farms should do that.Flanders wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 8:32 pmIts not just Claiborne.

I know, you’re right - I’m sorry for taking my sadness out on Claiborne, who do love and treat their horses well. I would never want Flatter to suffer, and neither would they. He was a stalwart for them, truly a wonderful sire.

One of the barn cats at Lane's End - Linda - has died at around age 16.

Did Lane's End post something about Linda somewhere? I think it's sweet if they loved her enough to mark her passing.
