Thoroughbred - Large - Adult - Male - Horse - Lighthouseville 'H
Description
House is a 5 year old, 16.1 hand, dark bay, Thoroughbred gelding. House was donated to the ILEHC in December of 2008 after sustaining a slab fracture of the right knee during his last race on November 5, 2008. This injury resulted in the end of his racing career. House's injured knee required extensive rehabilitation which included 7 months of complete stall rest, followed by 8 weeks of hand-walking, and lots and lots of repeated radiographs so that we were able to accurately assess and monitor the healing progress of his injured knee. We were given the go-ahead to begin returning House to daily supervised turnout at the beginning of July 2009. House is doing wonderfully and thus far appears to be completely sound. House is an absolutely gorgeous horse with classically elegant Thoroughbred features. He is also a very sweet guy who just loves people! I have to laugh everyday when working around this horse...he just loves to give big sloppy horse licks anytime he gets the chance. I have to wonder sometimes if he isn't maybe part dog! House will not be ready to resume activity under-saddle until October 2009, however, he is currently available for adoption (adopting now will afford you plenty of time to get some ground-work underway!). Interested parties should submit their adoption application quickly. With House's stunning good looks and great personality, it won't take long for someone to come along and scoop this beauty up!
