Concealed
- 1998
Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
"Harry"
is a relative newcomer to the farm, arriving in March 2002 with
a re-separated sesamoid. He is a Stakes-Placed winner and a handsome
boy enjoying his new surroundings.

Dee
L. Bee - 1995
Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
Dee L. Bee,
"Knee", came to the farm with a broken knee, which had
been surgically repaired with pins. For the first eight months
he was barely able to bear any weight on that leg. It seemed impossible
that he would ever be sound. However, now several years later
he is sound and only a tell-tale enlarged knee reveals his history.

Dissinger
- 1994
Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
"Dissy"
came to the farm with a known broken knee and unknown osteomylitis
in both front coffin bones. He also foundered and it was recommended
that he be euthanized. However, Diane Isbell, DVM, who specializes
in laminitis and hoof problems performed a "distal limb perfusion"
on both front feet, stating his prognosis was poor. "Dissy"
was an excellent patient and defied the odds. Although not 100%
sound, on most days he is close to it and even has new bone growth
in both coffin bones.

Eastern
Paradox - 1996
Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
"Ace"
arrived with a bowed tendon, but has recovered so you wouldn't
even know he had one. He'd jump in your pocket if you'd let him
and really has quite the personality.

Governor
Elect - 1991
Chestnut Thoroughbred Gelding
"Govie"
is one of the better known racehorses at the farm having won 19
of 55 races and almost $200,000. His ankle is almost the size
of a grapefruit. When he arrived you could hear bone clicking
on bone, since there was no cartilage left in it. Today the ankle
is fused and Govie loves to run and play in his retirement.
