CATCH THIS T
Bright Futures Farm, Cochranton, PA
Catch This T was severely injured when he ran in front of a truck in 1999. He had a 26" gash in his left shoulder, severe damage to both stifles, and underwent several surgeries. After two years of rehabilitation, he was finally sound enough that he could be ridden again and was adopted under contract. T’s new family checked out before he was adopted and he initially did well in his new home, but after six months, the adopter would not return calls or email the required updates and photos. Bev at Bright Futures was very concerned about T, so she rescinded the adoption and drove 14 hours to the adopter’s farm to go get him. What she found was heart wrenching; T had almost been starved to death. It took months of care to return T to good heath, and just as he’d recovered in 2013, he contracted EPM and had a severe setback neurologically. Since then, T has been a permanent resident of Bright Futures Farm. He has returned to a healthy weight and has regular chiropractic and acupuncture sessions, which help his mobility tremendously.
T has fought and won every battle that has come his way. He's a trooper, a fighter, and a survivor–are all of the things Bev loves most about Thoroughbreds. The treatments T receives are funded, in part, by BEWF, and we are very proud to be part of T’s continued healing and happiness at Bright Futures Farm.
