Getting to know your thoroughbred
It’s a big adjustment , here are the three things we work on first when they come off the track
1- diet. They’re used to a carefully managed and balanced diet to maintain peak physical condition. We like to let them choose their own adventure, so to speak. After sampling everything from Trader Joe’s, it turns out freckles prefers footing.
2- vet work. Since we never do a PPE on racehorses , we like to have the horse perform the PPE (post purchase exam) on our vet. Danielle Price passed with flying colors, she performed extremely well on the scritches and sniffs.
3- pull their shoes. Ideally right away. Then have your farrier put new ones on to avoid sore feet as they start their new lives.
