I'm getting a horse that was hurt on the race track.. He was sold for 20K as a yearling and raced 5 races until one day he was loading into a trailer and slipped and fractured his back leg. So he was sent to a rescue and his name is Mr. President. He is the most beautiful horse i have ever saw in my entire life. And now he is mine :)

Do you have a picture of him Wise?

It recovered from a fractured back leg?

It is still in the healing process i believe. But we are buying him from a rescue.

Yeah let me make a link real fast :)

Yeah, I know a guy whose (speed event) horse totally shattered his front leg. A year later, that horse is back up and running!!
Congratulations, Wise!

Thanks! But i'm probably using him for barrel racing :)

I wouldn't suggest using a horse who has fractured a hind leg for another heavy duty speed event - barrel racing. Poor dude would probably do much better with some chill flat work/trails if he even recovers enough to be sound let alone ridden again...

Cool! Yeah, that's what this guy does.

You might want to start slowly retraining him, because racehorses are taught that when you pull they should run faster. Not the most fun thing to happen when you're running at a barrel and pulling back a little, trying to turn it, LOL
