In Need OTTB needs home- Pennsylvania

Postby cmccarthy9 » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:42 pm

Posting for a friend.

Owner is not able to care anymore for a 5 yr old OTTB gelding named Bibblesman. He is 15.1 hands and has an amazing personality. He made @ 125,000 and placed 2nd in the Peppy Addy stake at Parx. He last ran on June 1, 2012 where he suffered a slab fracture of his right knee.

The knee has healed, but he developed Lymphangitis/or Cellulitis in his left hock and most recently was kicked and required stitches. Unfortunately, the hock swelled and the stitches popped out.

The farm he is at is not ideal for him as there is no individual turnout and is all mud. He needs some major TLC and with that may be sound for light riding down the road. The owner has no time to care for his needs and the farm staff is spread thin, but are doing what they can for the horse.

Here is a picture of him- he is the bay with a mini and a dog.



he is located in Bucks County Image
