BRIGHT JOURNEY RETIRED

On July 13, 2011, Bright Journey suffered another tendon injury at Santa Anita.  We gave him PRP at Steinbeck within a week. He is now under the care of Efrain Guzman at Woodmyst Farms in Gilroy.  We had him ultrasounded last week and the vet found that he had completely healed the lesion.  You can see the faint outline of the lesion but its all filled in with new fibers.  Now we just have to make those strong again.  He is inside a nice barn and is walked twice a day.    However, we have decided to retire and try to train him for a different discipline so he's not exposed to being hurt again.  I know this is a big disappointment for everyone in the syndicate.  I am sorry that we was never able to make it to the races.  But he's s fine 3 year old colt and I think we will make someone a nice dressage or jumper mount someday.  He's got a great personality and more than willing heart.
