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. This past 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 has
a large horizontal crack running through the damaged part of his hoof.
His weak tendons are being treated with weekly injections of Adequan
and daily dmso therapy. The cracked hoof is being thoroughly lavaged and receiving daily applications of bee pollen
to prevent infection and trace mineral supplements to aid with hoof growth. Because of these injuries, Santa Fe is not
available for placement at this time.
