Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in support of Wavertree Warrior.

After an active racing career  of 79 flat races over 7 years, with 7 wins and placed in another 20 races, Warrior retired as a family hack, only to fall on hard times.  Rescued and restored to good health by a subsequent and dedicated keeper, poor Warrior was subsequently struck down with painful problems with his feet at a time when this loving new keeper faced very serious health problems of her own.  This is where Graham and the Racehorse Sanctuary stepped in, immediately offering a second and life-saving rescue.

Warrior continued to need lots of TLC: time and regular treatment by the wonderful specialist team at Liphook Equine Hospital to sort his feet and to secure him a new home for life. Your generous support helped make this possible by covering the cost of the veterinary treatment he needed, following his move into the care of Graham and his dedicated team at The Racehorse Sanctuary.

Now sadly we have lost him after 5-years of dedicated care in the Sanctuary's Peter O'Sullevan High Dependency Unit: see update below.  I have reopen this fundraising page in tribute to a brave horse.
