Pogolotti Hill
From AlexBrownRacing
This 9 year old Bay Gelding had raced mostly on the turf 2001 - 2004. Earned over 90K and was found in a NY killpen on June 26th, 2007.
"..... Over the weekend I (Marlifarm) was contacted by a gal that I believe does frequent this forum (PattyMartin). There was another individual that attended the Unadilla Auction on Friday and a TB gelding that recently bowed at some dressage facility toted him to the sale as they didn't want to do the rehab ... According to the report, he's a beautiful big bay gelding that will just need some additional time to mend the bow. As it turned out, the meatman did get him and it was just confirmed to me by Christy (AC4H) as she just spoke to him at New Holland and he does have the gelding up here in the NY killpen [I am going to be checking on the gelding tomorrow]..."

Update on Pogolotti Hill - September '07 - It's Suspensory
It's not bowed tendon, it's a suspensory injury. We are guessing that is why his last owner finally threw in the towel and sent him to auction. Pogolotti Hill needs a retirement home and Lisa was able to find a great one for him at Out2Pasture in Missouri. Out2Pasture is a satellite retirement home for TRF, but after hearing Pogo's story, has opened their farm to him for his retirement as a hard luck case.
Pogolotti Hill Arrives At Out2Pasture
Part of his welcoming committee!! Robin's parents who are retired and help her take care of the horses.
From Robin at Out2Pasture, Tuesday October 2nd.
He, indeed is a doll and has buddied up to a small herd with 3 babysitters who fuss over him and insist on licking his face and telling him when to come in for a snooze and when to eat.
I believe this will be his permanent herd bc he appears quite docile and I do have some brutes in other herds. He seems ok with this new routine and is easy to love. I will snap some shots of him and his new buddies, as well as his surroundings. The Ozark hills where our 400 acre farm is located is beautiful this time of year. Please send word that ALL associated with your boy are always welcome in our home.

UPDATE ON POGOLOTTI HILL OCTOBER 22ND
BAILEY has been moved to a new herd. He bit an older, blind mare and Robin decided to move him to a group that, while still defenseless, is a little more able to stand up for themselves. I have been assured by Robin that the old mare will be okay .. Bailey is not a rogue, just misunderstood the mare's ability to take care of herself.
You can see some of his new herd members in the background.

WE DID THE BEST WE COULD DO
Bailey's (Pogolotti Hill's) suspensory is just not holding anymore. I was just devastated when I got the news on Friday. Not that I wasn't expecting it at some point especially since Robin had told me he was getting Better than Bute twice a day a few weeks ago, but I had so hoped Bailey could enjoy romping through one more spring.
This is from Robin at Out2Pasture on Friday, April 11, 2008
For the past couple of months, it has become increasingly apparent that Bailey is struggling more and more with normal daily activities (walking, running, playing). As suggested by the attending vet, we upped Bailey's pain meds accordingly; Bailey's activities are restricted more; he spends much of his time laying down in his stall... Last week, all involved at the vet school, felt that it was time to consider letting Bailey go due to the amount of pain he is experiencing with the progression of his affliction.
Robin has told me she will be following the trailer to the vet school and will be with Bailey when he is put to sleep on Monday.
I am so sorry.
Lisa
GOODBYE
L, At 3:10, I said goodbye to Bailey. He was given a mild tranq for the trip in and he was transported in a van so that he could (and did) lay down. When we arrived at the school, he stood on his own and walked through the "people door" of the school (vs. The horse door); like he had done it every day of his life. At no time, did he seem stressed; just tired (his condition and tranq). I lead him into a stall and as he was surrounded by students, a sedative was administered; followed by an injection to stop his heart beating. Bailey had no recognition that anything was amiss; all of us talked him through things and told him what a gift he was. In the seconds afterwards, I put my hands over his eyes and said goodbye to him; no more pain.
