New baby

[poeseewi]

Major Bo finally arrived. He is a rescue thoroughbred out of War Admiral and Native Dancer and over 17 hands of sheer laziness and only 6 years old. He was found starving on a pasture and t-bred rescue tracked down the trainer. He had broken his sesamaoid bone and was put out to pasture. They spent several days trying to rescue Bo as his trainer just wanted to euthanize him. Anyway that was in Dec 2007. He is still thinner than I like and has a horrible looking leg, but has shown no lameness and the vet said he is ridable, just not fast - like you could get him to go faster than a slow trot. He is the mellowist guy ever. He prefers to meander around. This is the first time my partner has been on him because the farrier just came and fixed his awful looking hooves. Bo truly is the "back yard horse!"

Come on - look at the camera
