This is my wonderful gelding Neon. Neon broke his hip when he was younger and most vets who evaluated him said he should never have been sound enough to be a show horse after his injury. Despite the odds he went on to be an amazing show horse with the only evidence left of his injury being a dropped hip. I showed Neon for the last 11 years and he proved to be an amazing teacher taking me through the ranks of a beginner Novice Youth to showing at the AQHA World Championships and through the first part of showing in the Amateur division. Neon has been fed Platinum Performance products for the majority of his show career as well as now in his retirement. Not only has he allowed me to achieve goals I never though was possible he also was one of the main factors in developing my passion for veterinary medicine. Neon, now 17, is retired retired from showing while I focus on finishing my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine degree focusing on equine sports medicine and orthopedics. Neon still loves to work and is currently teaching other veterinary students how to ride or just providing a mental break from the class room. During the day he gets to spend time out in the pasture with his pasture-mates and gets brought in for the evening.
