Hip 174, 4-year-old filly "Threeoffthetee," and Hip 135, 3-year-old gelding "Don Chupe," were rescued Saturday for follower Kim, who was so moved by the two, asked us to bring them home to her. So, we did. 

The 4-year-old filly was, aside from our bids, nothing more than slaughter fodder, and Don Chupe was, like Boston Baked Bean, Everynow And Then, Mi Gatita, and many more well-conditioned Thoroughbreds at auction before him, a prime buy for match racers. 

A huge thank you to Kim for her offering to buy both and take them home. Don Chupe will never see a match race, and Threeoffthetee is not, as she nearly ended up, on a one-way trip to Mexico.

Instead, both babies, once they recover, will have a solid future of care and love.

Ps. The filly had a pregnancy check yesterday, and she is not in foal to a "high-priced Friesian or Andalusian," as we were told. What she does have are sore tendons and a traumatized demeanor, requiring a long rehab before she can be safely put up for adoption. For such a young horse, she has been through so much. In time, those sweet eyes will shine again.
