![]() I was a little shocked at the amount of former track horses I recognized.What do most of these owners do,just dump them off somewhere to get rid of them when they don't want them anymore?I know not all owners are like that.

![]() I wish......I will say that when I was about 10 years old, someone broke into my house and stole a bunch of stuff, jewelry, vcr, tv.... I came home from school and I had a piggy bank and little velcro wallet. You could tell this was a little kids room. The guy took the money out of the piggy bank, and the one 5 dollar bill I had in my wallet...I genuinely hope someone that would rob a little kid should find his way into the grave as fast as humanly possible. I realize I just buzz killed this thread with this post. Ha ha, not my intention. |

![]() 3rd in the Florida Derby and Lone Star Derby in '02...you'd think they could have set aside $5k or $10k for his retirement.

![]() Just off the phone with Peekskill's breeder/principal owner(s), Dede Snowden.. She and husband Guy had been keeping tabs on Peekskill as a runner but lost track of him after his final start.
She and her daughter have many retired horses on their CT farm, quarters and shows as well as thoroughbreds, and she will contact MN Hooved Animal Rescue to see what she can do to help with Peekskill's retirement or possible training as a show horse. Thanks to Kimme for bringing the situation to the fore and the MN H.A.R. people for their work...
