No Harm Done (Nona) I got my mare through MSA last spring. Her owners were looking from a how for her as she broke her sesamoid bone. They gave her a two week window before putting her down, that how I got her. I had x-rays done on her, she has healed wonderfully and has shown no sign of lameness. She never raced as she broke the bone while warming up for her first race (she did qualify though). She is a very sweet girl, and I now know why she was a barn favorite at the track. She is going to undergo training this spring and I plan to use her as a trail horse.

Yeah she gets covered in them in the summer, they are really noticeable when the sun shines on them  |

Ooh, my favorite color, bay with no white. I absolutely love a solid bay and she's dappled and shiny which is a bonus. I like her.

What a pretty face!
Baby is often mistaken for a boy. She's not so girly.
I love a nice bright solid Baby myself.
Your horse and Baby have something in Common. Baby broke a sesmoid too when she was a two year old I think. Didn't get the full story but I heard she was a nasty kicker. Had to be kept in a padded stall. Yuo'd never know that now. As long as she gets fed first she's fine.

Yeah, her race owner's opted to not have surgery done on her so she could continue to race. She stayed on stall rest for awhile til she was able to be trailered. I kept her on stall rest for another month or two and had the vet out for x-rays. She healed fine and so far have not seen any lameness from the injury. I noticed a lot of horses that had the same injury had the bone removed, the vet said that she should heal fine without having to remove it. She is going to begin training soon.

Katherine I was glad she did not end up for meat let alone race again as that injury would of not made it easier on her.
They do say always best to remove it if racing again but in your case it was best to leave it scar over and it healed so well.
You pampered that girl to health/..

Lucky for her she was a barn favorite, that is why they gave her a 2 week window to find someone that wanted her. Her owners were kind enough to put her down if she could not find a home, I know there are many others that would have had a worse fate...... She is indeed a pampered girl, has been all her life so I have heard, and will continue to be |

Baby did get the surgery. The trainer's daughter found me on another website and told me stories of how she would sit in Baby's stall with her during her treatment and recovery afterward.
I'd say we have two very fortunate horses to have had such caring owners when they were racing.

Agreed! I hear stories every once in awhile of horses on the track and I am always so greatful that Nona's race owners cared enough to give her a chance to find a home. Wish they could all be that lucky!

your horses are very lucky both to have great trainers, and wonderful new owners. Sesamoid fractures are quite common and depending on the severity, horses can come back from them. But, it's my experience that if it's not removed the horse is never 100% again. Even the removal can be touch and go.
I looked after a stud named David and he broke his. They opted to put plates and screws in it to get it to heal. It never really did, and he never raced again. Last i heard he was with the amish. Poor Guy. Such a sweet horse too.
