Rescued racehorse "Clever Allemont" prepares for his trip from Kansas to Old Friends, a retirement facility for thoroughbreds in Kentucky. The horse recently was saved from slaughter. See the Saturday (Jan. 3) edition of The Ottawa Herald for the full story.
And after he gave them all of that...look what they gave him...a terrible post race life and a trip to the slaughterhouse. Thanks to God for saving him. What a terribly sad side of racing this is. I pray for all horses every day.
