Slewp
Walker

Gelding, foaled 1994

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!!!
