Hello, may name is Roberto and I am a 2 year old Thoroughbred. I was born at Castleton Ranch a few months after my mother Cheryln was rescued from a feedlot. As a foal I was just as any regular foal should be but later as a yearling I developed "contracted tendons". The Vet said we should try and let me grow naturally for a short while but instead of getting better my legs got worse until the only hope for me was an expensive surgery called "Check Ligament Surgery". My surgery, training, lay-up, aftercare and farrier would amount to several thousand dollars but thanks to Donna, Pam, Tamara, Rachelle, Annette, Lois and many more of our wonderful and caring donors, I was able to have my surgery and my great recovery has even surprised our Vet.
I am getting around great now but I will always be here at the ranch as I will most likely not be able to hold the weight of a rider. I am a very sweet and loving horse and want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for helping me. I would be delighted if anyone would like to sponsor me. Thank you for caring.
