I've bought a horse...

[IrishMilo]

And I think under all that hair he's going to be really quite nice!

He's a proper project, physically and mentally - literally 0 expectations for him. He broke his pelvis in training a year ago (won a few flat races), was cross tied for 5 months and has been on the walker for the last 4. Trainer didn't want to euth as apparently the yard were all very fond of him.

I saw him on FB yesterday, he's arriving tomorrow...

Meet Tucker! (Was Tebay)

 

[Lucky Snowball]

Congratulations. I hope he turns out to be everything you hope for.

He looks so sweet, IM. And if he comes right, he's a nice horse. I've heard of good results from pelvis fractures and he's had the right treatment.

He looks like a lovely boy. Hope everything goes well with him!

 

[Flowerofthefen]

Really nice stamp, congratulations. I used to hunt a horse that had broken his pelvis when a gate blew shut on him. He was absolutely fine. All the best with this one.

 

[BronsonNutter]

He's very cute! Looking forwards to seeing your progress together!

 

[TheOldTrout]

He looks lovely.

 

[Peglo]

Lovely ? best of luck with him.

 

[Snow Falcon]

He's got a lovely head. Please keep us updated with his progress.

 

[Clodagh]

Well done you! Brilliant. He looks very well put together, please keep updates coming.

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

Poor boy what a hard few months he has had, so glad he has now got his one to one owner. I think he looks very nice already and could well be a real stunner now he is in a nice home with TLC and time. Good luck with him

 

[pistolpete]

Ah bless him so pleased he’s got a second chance. Still growing so every chance. Look forward to hearing his progress.

 

[Odyssey]

He's lovely, looks really sweet and genuine. I hope his rehab goes well, please keep us updated.

 

[AmyMay]

Bless him. How wonderful that he’s getting a second chance xx

How old is he IM?

[Clodagh]

How old is he IM?

7 I think, if I found the right horse.

 

[ycbm]

7 I think, if I found the right horse.

I looked, couldn't find him. Thanks. He's young enough to get over this, hopefully.

[Bernster]

Wow that must have been a tough time for him. Hope things look up from now on and he recovers well. Good luck

Good luck!
My broken pelvis pony broke it when she was about 10, she’s still working aged 30!

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

Ooh, what a nice stamp of a horse. Congratulations,

He has the most beautiful face IM, if anyone can give him a lovely life it’s you. Congratulations to both of you.

Yes, 7! Good detective work, Clodagh!

 

[IrishMilo]

Thank you everyone! I'll put a few more pics up once he arrives tomorrow

Good luck with him, he looks smart! Would be lovely to see updates of his progress

How did he break his pelvis??

 

[IrishMilo]

How did he break his pelvis??

Stress fracture when up the gallops.

 

[Clodagh]

How did he break his pelvis??

Racehorses can just get stress fractures, I have a tiny share in one and she’s off at the moment with one. Only diagnosed after persistent mild lameness, nothing major happened.
