==========================================

Matthew's good friend Bob Oury bought fred right after the Tevis for 10,000 
dollars. He asked Hal to keep Fred and campaign him.  Hal and Ann discovered 
that Fred had multitdde problems...including but notlimited to severe sole 
buising UNDER his pads, major tendon problems all the way around. Fred was so 
sore all over that he woulld not even tolerate being brushed.  The Halls were 
making every two weeks and then monthly trips to I believe UC Davis for the 
better part of a year...I saw the stack of records from UC at the end of that 
year and it was about three inches thick.  Treatment included weeks of stall 
rest, corrective shoeing, ten minutes only in hand walking...etc., etc. Ann and 
Hall put a huge amount of time, energy and heart into helping Fred recover.  
Bob Oury put out a huge amount of money towards Fred's recovery....
When he finally was tried again in endurance he had lamness problems and I 
believe a pull for metabolics.  And then I lost track of Fred.  Oh, by the way, 
Matthew recieved some award for rider of the year for his accomplishments 
including winning the old dominion and tevis on Fred.      sandy bolinger
