Nopie the Rescued Horse

[DerbyCat]

Here are some photos of Nopie... I went up to visit with him and he's doing really well. He's moving around great on his bad leg and he seems really happy in his new surroundings. He wants to eat everything and loves getting carrots!





This is Nopie's home at GEVA, a small paddock with an attached stall in the main barn. It looks over the outdoor paddocks where the other horses spend their day.




Here's Nopie up close and personal a couple of weeks ago when he arrived at Steve Sherman's barn at Golden Gate Fields.




Here's a shot of Nopie that shows his colors well... and him sticking out his tongue! Pam at GEVA says Nopie sticks his tongue out and makes slurping noises - I think that's his way of saying "More food sure would be tasty right about now!"

Dear Anonymous,

There is this new button on your computer. It is called SPELLCHECK and you should think about using it next time you defend some gyp trainer in horseracing hell. "One of the best feeding programs on the circut"? That is rich.

Wonderful pictures He's everything I pictured and then some. I was visiting my parents and tried to tell my dad about Nopie's story, and before I explained he was in California (I'd gotten to the part about being vanned off but surviving) he thought I was going to suggest we adopt him and gave a firm "Nope! Don't even think about it!" To get him to listen to the rest of the story I had to explain that Nopie being on the other side of the country got him off the hook.

Oh, he is so lovely. Please keep us posted with his pictures.

I love the letter from the crack pot. I wonder if it were written in the ancient Budweiser dialect? And what exactly does "investagating" entail?
