Hi Miss Woodford – I didn’t know this horse but have just been finding out about him because of your posting. Sounds like a horse who so deserved a good retirement and I’m so sorry for your loss. I know he wasn’t yours, but sometimes it hurts as though he was. I feel for you.
Also upsetting to read some of the comments regarding the vet and connections on your second link. I’m hoping the people who’ve commented are wrong.
Best wishes.
