UPDATE! Bodiddle's X-rays were not good. He had a fair amount of calcification in his ankles. We had a second opinion from Spurlock Equine Associates and decided that maybe the Trainer Challenge wasn't the ideal situation for Bodiddle. However, he developed such a big fanbase on Youtube and we also felt that he was a special horse, so, while he won't be in the challenge, Bodiddle will get 5 weeks of training with Steuart Pittman at Dodon Farm at the same time as the trainer challenge horses. We will document his progress here, on FB and on Youtube including updates on his soundness. See below for Bodiddle's replacement.

The RRTP is a charitable organization under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax deductible pursuant to applicable laws. Our mission is to facilitate the placement of retired Thoroughbred racehorses in second careers by educating the public about the history, distinctive characteristics, versatility of use, and appropriate care and training of the iconic American Thoroughbred.
Funding is needed to maintain and expand our internet services, conduct our Throughbreds For All events, produce educational videos, and finance our presentations at horse expos and other high visibility public events. We do not use donated funds to care for individual horses. That work is done by the farms and organizations that we serve.
