HPAF used the occasion of the Florida Thoroughbred Farm Managers Stallion Showcase, Silent Auction and Cocktail Party to honor Dr. Tom Lane for his years of service and assistance to the horses. Dr. Lane was presented with a plaque that read “With our deepest gratitude to our friend and veterinarian Dr. Tom Lane, for his many years of donating his veterinary services to help abused and neglected horses.” Thank You Dr. Lane, we are blessed to have you in our lives. Dr. Lane was honored by the Florida Thoroughbred Farm Managers Carry Back Award for Distinguished Morgan and Dr. Lane Achievement. We would love to list all of Dr. Lane’s achievements here, but there are only a few pages in this newsletter, and his accomplishments would take up a whole page! We love you Dr. Lane!

Casben is a miniature stallion that came to HPAF in November 2008. He was emaciated and had been severely mauled by a dog. Casben has a fixed patella, which is a locked stifle and hock, and does not bend at all. After three months of therapy and exercise, he is now trotting and cantering. He is happy, loveable, social and vivacious. In fact, he became so rambunctious that he needed to be gelded, which was done in January with no complications, thank goodness. Because of the results of his injuries, Casben needs to be cleaned every day. He will need continued therapy, controlled exercise, supplements, and acupuncture to help him hopefully get to the point where the patella will unlock. Casben is looking for a home with a special human who will appreciate him for his super special personality and continue his therapy.
