I have a nine year old Thoroughbred gelding that I got from the track three years ago. He had a couple of hot spots by his withers. We were told he likely had ulcers 90% of racehorses do and we treated him with some home remedies. We had the best luck with Aloe Vera gel or juice. He has been on our farm for over a year now. He is finally sound at least he appears to be. He has a very skittish personality. I am not sure if Petey is just normally skittish or if he was beaten at the track or somewhere in his life. I would like to ride him I have lots of horse experience as a rider/trainer. The only problem is my horse has no legs. Right now he is sitting alone in his field, with a small patch of grass eaten away infront of him. We have to mow the rest, otherwise it'll grow too high and start chaffing his shoulders. We bought him three years ago from an old man with a pipe in his mouth. It was a very good purchase and we have never had any complaints, although, the old man did try and sell us a extended warranty. We know all about extended warranties from seeing Watchdog with Anne Robinson that one time.Sometimes the local thugs from the village down the road, break into the field and tease my horse with sugar cubes and prosthetic limbs. They try and get him so excited that he falls over on his side. When he falls over they laugh at him until he cries. Horses only cry when they are very sad.
