His name is Mynard Road and we call him Jimmy.  Jimmy is a 10 year-old, 16.3 hand thoroughbred - a war horse - that suffered a bowed tendon injury in September 2007.  Jimmy's race owner tried very hard to find Jimmy a home, but who would want a 10 year-old injured thoroughbred?  WE DO!  These war horses have spent many years racing and have seen so much that they make really nice family horses.  Jimmy is no different.  His foster home says that he is a joy to be around, easy to hand-walk, loves treats, loves to eat and has been a very good boy while on stall-rest.  Jimmy, his foster home and all of us at Friends of Ferdinand would like to thank the Fans of Barbaro for raising the money to support Jimmy while he heals and waits to find a family of his own.  

Update:  January 08 - The vet is coming the see Jimmy to evaluate his progress and update his treatment plan.  His foster home is doing such a good job managing his rehab that we think it may be time for Jimmy to spend some time on his own in a small paddock! There is no heat or swelling in his tendon and he is moving very well.  Jimmy should be suited for flatwork, trail and pleasure work.  He should not jump.
 
Update: July 2008 - Jimmy has an adoption pending! Congrats to Jimmy and his new person!!
