Santa Fe has made a lot of progress
over coming his fears during the last two years. One of our members had been working with him and was at last able to
ride him with a side walker assisting. Last winter, however, he injured the rear tendons on the leg with the horrible
scar several times and we have concerns over whether he will ever be sound enough to be used for riding. He also had
a large horizontal crack running through the damaged part of his hoof.
His weak tendons were treated with a course of Adequan injections
along with daily ice and DMSO therapy. The horizontal crack in his hoof has grown out but he continues to have weakness
in the tendons in his left hind leg. For these reasons, we feel he will be best suited as a companion horse.
Santa Fe has a sweet personality and gets along very well with both mares and geldings. He enjoys playing with the
other boys and splashing in the pond. He would make the perfect companion for a horse of any age.
