Anne Cawley  writes: "Clanfluther is a 12 Year Old, 16 Hands bay gelding by Sherngzar retired sound from 11 years racing. For the last 18 months, I was using him for escorting hacks in riding stables and hunting; he was excellent at both. In the Axe Vale Harriers Hunt at the end of September, trotting along a narrow Devon lane following a good run, Clanfluther overreached, pulling off a new shoe, and managed to tread on the longest nail driving it into the sole. He was transported back to the stables where the farrier refitted the shoe. At this point he was almost sound. The next day Clanfluther was very lame. After a course of antibiotics, Clanfluther remained lame and the vet took swabs which revealed an unusual antibiotic resistant infection.
