"Seattle Souvenir," the Thoroughbred stallion who found himself at Mike's Auction Saturday night, was rescued later that night off the slaughter truck, after failing to receive even a single rescue bid.
Thanks to Farralone Farms and After the Finish Line, Seattle Souvenir was saved off that truck, and since then, has already made the transformation from stallion to gelding!
Dr Sullivan of West Coast Equine Hospital also diagnosed the teenaged Thoroughbred with a very common ailment in his breed -- pedal osteitis. Nothing quality shoeing (with pads) can't fix, combined with time and careful conditioning.
Seattle Souvenir, now named "Underdog," will be available for adoption, once his rehab is complete!
