In November 2001 Ton of Gold, a grandson of Exceller, was donated to The Exceller Fund. He was transferred to his new home at one of ReRun's Central Kentucky facilities. He was found to have bone chips in one of his knees, which required surgery in December 2001. The surgery was a success and his recovery has been remarkable. His degenerative arthritis will keep him from ever being a riding horse but the surgery will slow down the progress of the arthritis as well as ensure that the chips do not cause him pain.
Ton Of Gold is doing remarkably well. In 2010 he and another Exceller Fund horse, Dah Waterboy joined the Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program at the Tulsa Boys Home. The horses were utilized as a dynamic part of the healing process for many young men in Oklahoma. In early 2011 the boys completed their time at the Tulsa Boys Home and are now turned out with a herd in Oklahoma and enjoying some down time.
Ton Of Gold is limited to only very light riding due to his knee but he is a wonderful boy and would love to have a home of his very own. He will definitely increase the beauty of any pasture!
