I know this is late, but I am so very sorry for your loss. I am however, so thankful and glad that you guys had the opportunity to know, love, and trust such a wonderful horse.
OMG.Only just seen this. Hope he get a reasonable level of recovery to allow him a good quality of life. He was a cracking little horse. Best of luck to you all.
Movado was humanely euthanized September 18, 2009 here at our farm. He began deteriorating rapidly and was becoming a hazard to himself and those around him. He had adjusted well to the blindness and other physical challenges he had, but the vets believe the damage from the injury was just too severe. It was a difficult decision after he came so far but, there at the end, you could really tell he was suffering. It was hard for us, but it was the right thing to do at the right time.
I have tears in my eyes. The song choice could not have been more touching given the situation. There is indeed "work to be done in the darkness before the dawn." May this incredible horse live to see the dawn again with his own soulful eyes. There are no words.
He is feeling well enough for them to do some physical therapy with him. He's doing much better with his mobility and his balance has improved as long as he doesn't try to go too fast. He is still completely blind.
Vado is doing as well as can be expected. He is still blind, but his balance is improving. He has a pronounced head tilt but is able to move around better than he was just after the accident. He still has a hearty appetite and is eating well. His vet says it could be 6 months to a year before we have a better expectation of his level of recovery.
What a beautiful boy, and my thoughts are with you and with him in this healing time. He is too strong and vital for this to be the end of him, will be praying for a miracle! Shine on boy! Amy (Sagenhaft)

great pity, but good that there is still hope.
wondered what happened, that he was so badly injured

He was feeling good and went up. Ended going up too far and lost his balance. He then went over backwards whiplashing his head into the ground.
