Not looking good for Monet's Garden...

Aye, wouldn't want him to suffer and they have done all they can for him. Won't make it any easier to bear though. Cried my eyes out when we lost One Man and I'll probably be the same if it comes to the worst for poor Monets. :(

Someone's done a tribute on Youtube and I was nearly blubbing! :(

I saw that. I just hope that it was a tribute to a wonderful loyal servant, and not a requiem. Finding the trainer's 'phone number, is easy, but I just can't trouble them at this time.

Does anyone have any news, or an update? A grand horse, without question.

Alec.
 
oh i really really hope he pulls through- that horse first sparked my interest in racing and ive always thought he was incredible- he really deseves his long and happy retirement :(
 
Considering that the horse is now retired, regardless of his current problems, would not the Racing Post pics, make a wonderful photographic record, by way of a book?

They may even consider the profits being donated to The Injured Jockeys Fund. A worthwhile cause, I would have thought.

Perhaps there are other greats, Desert Orchid would be one, and form them as a series. Collectable and valuable they would be, and directing them towards a suitable racing charity, would be of real help. £60 apiece, for owners and trainers signed copies? Put me down for two of each!!

Just a thought.

As usual, one worth considering.

I have hardly dared open this thread over the last three days, just in case he's gone downhill.

Good idea Alec. I'd buy it.
 
Always was a fighter! really hope he recovers to have the lovely retirement he deserves.

Credit to his owners as well. All to oftern we hear about racehorses abandoned after their career has ended. It's lovely to hear that this fella will be treated to a five star lifestyle and loved for the rest of his days.

Come on Monet!
 
one of the comments made me laugh 'This is like an equine Chilean Miner! Here's hoping for an equally happy outcome. '

come on boy
