Tech Fall (“Duke”)
"Duke" is a 14 year old off the track thoroughbred by Birdstone who won a respectable $141,150 in his racing career. He had at least one post-track career that we know of, followed by adoption to a family who loved him. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury last year, and in the course of rehabilitating that injury, some additional tendon damage was found which may be degenerative. His family wanted to find him a safe landing, without concern that he would be ridden and re-injured or simply thrown away at an auction.
Duke joins our sanctuary program which will allow him to receive care and love as a pasture buddy until he is no longer comfortable, which we hope is many years from now. (If he is determined to come sound in the future, this designation will be revisited.)
Duke is an easy keeper on good pasture and he doesn’t need any special maintenance at this time. The majority of his care is sponsored by his former family.
