This makes my ❤️ so happy!
We got Whiskey Romeo who is a retired racehorse with past winnings around 4 mil. He is a greagreat grand of secretariat. 
I didn’t get back into horses to “rescue or rehab”. But when I saw whiskey I knew I wanted to bring him home. He was Labeled “FREE” and came with an emotional support goat. 😂
His feet were in rough shape and the previous owner let his feet over grow, flare and distort with front shoes on. This caused his coffin bone to distort and his heal to collapse.
I had his shoes pulled Oct. 6 and the pads that he had on with those shoes were paper thin. The feet pics in the comments are what we started with. He was well overdue for foot care. He could not walk comfortably and was on and off hobbling.
I went through 3 FARRIERS from sept-now. Two unreliable and one that didn’t know what he was doing. He could hardly walk and was also losing apetite which had him losing weight. He just wasnt a happy fello and i started to feel like i wasnt helping him and bit off more than i could take on.
The two that worked on his feet had him so screwed up. He has been on stall rest for over a month. He has not been able to walk let alone run since Nov. My farrier flaked on me for the last time and I found one that is truly remarkable and knowledgeable in what we are trying to achieve.
I wish i would have gotten a before video of him trying to move around because this after had me almost in tears. I can’t wait for the vet to see him again because she won’t believe it’s the same horse. We are not out of the woods yet. As rehab is a long slow road. But seeing him moving around. Running and jumping gives me hope for his future.
