So that means it will (in the vets words) never be an athlete. So we have to scrap the idea of going to the races to see Maghro and cheer her on. Shame, because the horse was apparently working well despite the breathing problems. Of course, that was over 3-600m of work not under race conditions.
So that means we're down the gurgler nearly 8k. As they told us, there are many hard luck stories and most horses don't even race. You just never expect it to happen to you!
So we're now 5 horses down and still not had one winner!
No chance of getting surgery? I believe So You Think had similar problem. It's a paralisation of a muscle in the throat that opens and closes to let air through. When is paralysed it doesn't open. They surgery permanently opens the muscle/flap. Doesn't work for all horses but there are different levels of paralisation. As for breeding I believe it's highly likely it's hereditory
That was in the vets report too RT. She's already had one, at the expense of the original owners after we'd purchased her but they've said it's inoperable.
just needed the place
