Thanks wish there were a bit more details but glad she continues to do well. Avoiding infection around the hardware and laminitis are the big watch outs for the next few months.

Assmussen said on Steve Byk’s show today that they are in no rush for her to join the Winchell broodmares in Kentucky for the rest of her rehab while it’s still winter. So even once she is off stall rest, if it’s still icy and snowy in Kentucky, don’t be surprised if she stays in California a bit longer.

I think they are skipping the breeding season this year which is a smart decision. I hope she continues to recover well and that they keep sharing updates. Would love to hear from the vet in charge of her care too.

Thanks for posting this update: she is never far from my thoughts.
Even after 3 months she is not out of the woods. Prayers for this lovely champion continue.

She's gone

Got cast in her stall injuring her leg. After all she's been through....

What a tragic loss of such a great filly, especially when her recovery was going so positively

Crying.. She was a great champion

Oh no….

Poor girl -

What dies getting cast in a stall mean? That she got her hoof or leg caught somewhere?

Damn. Horses are the most fragile creatures

Yep. Not enough room between her and the wall to get her legs underneath her to push herself up. They start panicking and kicking… terrible injuries can happen. If that’s the case, she might have done more damage to her injured leg.
Really sad.

Like Brunanas said, most likely rolling to close to the wall, thus getting legs stuck in the air. Then they can't finish rolling and they can't roll back. Then they panic because they feel vulnerable or know they can't stay laying like that and injure themselves. Even if they don't freak out, being stuck in that position can cause internal damages and lead to severe colic and death that way. Its a horrible situation. And it can happen outside too, if they choose to lay or roll in a weird spot. Sheep, cattle, goats and probably other animals can get cast as well.

I can’t believe there were not cameras in her stall! What a loss.

Oh how awful - to think of her suffering like that

Oddly enough, a few days ago I saw a post on some walking/countryside FB page from England advising walkers that if they saw a sheep on its back, to try and roll it onto its side so it could get up. So it can happen even in open country. Didn't Nashoba's Key fatally injure herself like this?
