As you might remember, 19-year-old Dorado is recovering from an unexpected bout of laminitis. He’s improved so much in the past few weeksÑmore on this in an upcoming postÑand he’s even been cleared for some limited turnout time (albeit under sedation to help ensure he doesn’t do anything too stupid and injure himself again!).

The first few days of turnout were a bit nerve-wracking (read: the sedative drugs did nothing to slow him down!), so I’ve been supervising his turnout and have, on several occasions, cut the time short when he turns from a Thoroughbred into a Lipizzaner. But this time is perfect for catching up on news from around the horse world and, this weekend, one story in particular caught my eye.

FlexibleÑa 19-year-old show jumping stallionÑis in the news again after winning a major competition in Canada.
