This Breeder’s Cup nominated horse fell ended up in a dire situation years after leaving the race track. The person who owned Slewpy after his racing career became ill and gave him to a couple who she believed would take good care of him. He was handed off in good health. When she went to check up on him, she was horrified to find that all of the animals in their care were in miserable condition. She contacted Animal Control in an attempt to get Slewpy back. Eventually he was confiscated with numerous other animals and the caretakers were charged with animal cruelty.

SCR was contacted by Strawberry Mt. Rescue (Oregon), who worked with animal control to place the horses. Finally, at 14 yrs old, Slewpy landed here at Second Chance Ranch. It is obvious this horse has seen a lot. Many of his "herd" and friends died of starvation or illnesses. He won't forget what he went through, but he also will never forget or take for granted the love and attention he is receiving now.

He appears to be sound, and has beautiful confirmation. He will most likely make a wonderful trail mount! Special thanks to Darla at Strawberry Mt. Rescue – they do a great job!!!
