High Z's exam

Dr. Valdez and Dr. Barnes of West Coast Equine Hospital came out today for High Z's exam to see if he's healthy enough to begin retraining, after coming off a feed lot and subsequent auction lot, in very poor condition, last month.

After a series of nerve blocks and radiographs, it was confirmed Z has what almost all Thoroughbreds do -- pedal osteitis. 

To ensure a healthy sound rehab, shoes with pads will be needed to protect his coffin bones from further damage. Otherwise, he should be fine to proceed with a new career. 

With his lovely temperament, and as a son of High Brite, we expect him to make a stellar pleasure horse.

Looking forward to Stage 2 of "bringing back Z"!
