Background & Care:
- In 2022, a veterinarian diagnosed the beginning stages of kissing spines after he bucked under saddle. He was treated with an injection and cleared for continued riding with monitoring. Some horses never need another injection; others may over time.
- In early 2025, he suffered a tendon injury to a leg. He was treated, put on stall rest, and then cleared by his veterinarian to go back to work.
- In the summer of 2025, his Training Challenge partner had him vetted again because she was concerned that he bucked (once) when ridden and she was concerned about his earlier kissing spines diagnosis. The veterinarian noted “one narrow, mildly sclerotic DSP space with cystic lesion present” or in layman’s terms: he has one spot of mild kissing spine. He also noted a very mild lameness (1.5/5) on the front right. The veterinarian advised “to only have light riders or keep as a companion”.
- Because of the mild lameness and very mild kissing spine diagnosis, he will need to remain on Equioxx if adopters plan to ride him. His previous professional trainer also recommended lunging before riding, bringing him back to work slowly to help build his topline, and consistent training time (whether on the ground or under saddle). If kept as a pet, he may not require Equioxx.
