God Bless Scooter! !10 Years of racing! That is awesome. He is getting a well deserved retirement and hopefully a happy safe home like all horses/animals should. More ownwers need to take of their horses in retirement whether they are sent to a rescue or found a good home.

This is wonderful! I hope more owners will consider retiring their horses to a rescue AND make a generous donation to help pay for their care.
