Thoroughbred - Large - Adult - Male - Horse - Maxx
Description
Prospector's Quest - known as Maxx around the barn -came to SCR in rough shape. He was, in essence, a cripple. He had fractured sessamoids in both fore legs, torn suspensory ligaments and had the start of degenerative joint disease. It was clear to us that he would need intensive therapy to restore any sort of mobility. He was immediately placed on long-term stall rest, and underwent physical as well as magnetic therapy at our Monson, MA foster farm with Lee Williams, professional massage therapist and SCR board member. Maxx did very well, despite being regulated to stall rest and therapy for over a year. He was able to cope with everything that we asked of him to heal from his extensive injuries. He even learned to roll on a lead rope! Maxx recovered from his injuries, and is labeled as "serviceably sound" for an intermediate rider. Maxx is currently looking for a light riding home where he will be loved like part of the family.
