Chasing Greatness

Rehabilitating

12 year old, 16 hh, OTTB, (raced and had $400,000 winnings at Belmont Race Track). His name is Chasing Greatness, "Chase".

Quiet, gentle and sane.  Arthritis in front legs/feet.  Cribs.   Apparently he went from the racetrack to the slaughter truck  He was saved off the truck simply because he was the one bleeding the most.  The legs of the horses were crossed and tied to enable more horses to fit.  Chase was the lucky one that day.  He became a show horse and then ultimately the cherished friend of a young girl.  Stabled in a boarding facility as many are, his hour a day turnout left him arthritic and unable to continue.

He was blessed with an owner who cared and she searched and did not give up until she found Amaryllis.

Chase is in rehabilitation now and we are awaiting the vet and farrier.  We will keep updates coming.

Chase needs sponsorship............please help this special horse!

Our animal healers Carlie and Victoria went right to work on a grateful Chase.  His body is slowly going to adjust to regular exercise and 24 hour turnout to get the blood flowing.  Gentle massages will help his muscles adapt.  He adores everyone and is already a barn favorite!

Chase has been promised a whole year to recover and rejuvenate.  Arthritic and feet issues will be reassessed in the summer of 2010.

Frisco and Chasie play all day!
