Bay Gelding;
Foaled 2001
Cartwright -
Magic Swan, by Acaroid
This sweet and beautiful bay gelding developed front knees that look
like Seabiscuit's knees, and his racing career was over. With no place
to go, The Exceller Fund was able to secure him from the track so he
can enjoy a safe future. The Fans of Barbaro helped raise some of the
money needed to transport him to his foster home.
He is currently in foster care in Lexington Kentucky. He is
described as one of the sweetest and nicest horses you would ever want
to meet. His knees do show a lot of chips, but he gets along well in
the pasture and is fine with other horses. "Birdy" will be evaluated in
a couple of months to see if he is sound enough for a career walk/trot
pleasure horse.
UPDATE: "Birdy" is one of the sweetest geldings on the farm, but unfortunately, is very limited by his knees as far as his riding capabilities. He is available for adoption as a companion at this point. Other than occasional walking under saddle he will not be suitable as a riding horse to prevent further damage.
