The one sabotaged Saddlebred still under treatment is recovering well, according to two veterinarians who have been treating the horse at Hagyard-Davidson-McGee (HDM) Associates in Lexington, Ky. However, they cannot say the gelding is completely out of the woods yet. Six-year-old Cats Don’t Dance is currently sound and slowly responding to a combination of cutting-edge treatments including hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and growth factor treatments. His left front pastern, along with those of four of his stablemates, was injected with a necrotizing substance at the end of June. This gelding and only one other horse have survived the injuries resulting from the attack.

The other surviving horse, Sassational, has recovered well and is reportedly back in training. Cats Don’t Dance’s owner, Sally Jackson, had said that the filly probably received less of a dose of the substance than the horses which succumbed to the injuries
