Paynter Update: Breaking news!!! Paynter has won the war.. dear fans thank you very much for all your prayers and thoughts and good vibes. Our Paynter this brave warrior. Has taken on A LOT of battles and today on his behalf and the behalf of his skillful vet team. we are declaring VICTORY!!! Paynter is a rare breed of thorughbred horse that has the detemermination, strength and heart. Paynter has beaten colitis, laminintis and a nasty abscess and today we are proud of our special colt. Today done our last set of diagnostics. His temp is normal, his blood work is perfect, his feet are sound and healthy, his lungs sound great. All in all we have a very happy and healthy horse. He has gained an additional 11 pounds in the last two days on top of the 24 pounds pounds before that. His medical team is very confident of his full recovery, plans are being finalized today for Paynter to leave New Bolton Medical Center on Sunday to go back into a rehab layup facility for the next 2-3 months and than finally return to the track where he loves and belongs. We should all continue to hope for a full recovery and to see our champ happy and healthy for 2013 racing calendar!! We have narrowed down the choices to 3 rehab centers. I am very nervous for him to leave all his beloved vets but my tears of joy will only make it worth it when I know he will have the right farm taking care of him. I have personally called and interviewed all these farms. A decision will be announced at 6 PM today.
