With donations at record lows, many thoroughbreds have been going to the slaughterhouse. Chez Chevaux (http://www.chezchevaux.org), a charity in Washington state, is holding a Derby Day promotion to aid ex-racers. Please help by forwarding this link. Even a few dollars can help save thoroughbreds from slaughter. Nonprofits who specialize in retraining thoroughbreds have been particularly impacted by this recession.

I have been wondering if there would be another tv show like Cesars with other animal communicators. Since Ceasar is a Dog Whisperer and I love his show... I started researching animal communication and came across this awesome book that I just had to snag, called Wagging Tales, by Tim Link. It`s a book about animal communicating...and i mean all different kind of <a href="http://www.wagging-tales.com/" rel="nofollow">animals</a> . One question I had was, how can someone communicate with an animal, and when I read the intro, he answered me this question! I just love how Tim can give these animals a voice much like I`m sure Pat did. If you`ve been wondering the same things as me, then this book is a must read you`ll really enjoy it!

She now has to be covered with a special breathable polyester-based rug and head cover when being turned out to grass. She cannot be turned out much in the summertime. Some of the photographs also show her legs being bandaged too. Steroid injections were tried initially but did not help aleviate her symptoms. She now takes approx 15 antihistamine tablets per day and her diet is mainly sugarbeet, chaff and soya oil. The tests show Pandora is allergic to every type of grass and the vet reports only having come across two cases previously and these were not as severe. The photographs showed the horse being turned out in a grass paddock but I would have thought it best to turn in out in a non-grassed area, even an inside school. I did see one comment where an owner said their horse had responded well to homeopathic treatment. The only similar problem I had with my horses was where two of them seems to be sensitive to oil seed rape and if the nearby fields consisted of this crop they would often develop some breathing problems when the crop flowered, which required some treatment to clear the resulting congestion.

He was the first horse to regain the trophy. He lost last year to his stablemate Denman after winning for the first time in 2007. Hopefully he will have some more chances to win this event in the future. I was pleased to hear that Kauto Star won the Gold Cup event. He was the first horse to regain the trophy.
