Classic Cut Update

Classic Cut was examined by Dr. Wes Sutter last week which revealed lameness in both his right front and left hind. When examined, he did not have any swelling in his limbs but was sensitive to palpation in his right front. Dr. Sutter recommended taking radiographs which revealed remodeling/bone bruising in the right front and left hind fetlocks. While this will require time off, this is only a minor issue and could explain his performance on July 6th. Bone bruising is common with horses in consistent training and does not require any kind of surgery.

Classic Cut will be sent to Silver Springs for time off and turnout, starting with 30 days of stall rest with 15 to 20 minutes of hand-walking daily. Pending everything is good by the beginning of September, he will be allowed to transition to the next phase of his R&R which would consist of daily turnout and hand-walking.
