Skip The Act and the road "home"
The image of Skip was taken about a week or so after he arrived at his new home. He was bathed, wormed , given shots and good food, but he still looked terribly thin when I took this photo of him.
His new owner saw the quality of the little horse in spite of his bony appearance and set about rehabilitating Skip The Act as he was named. Skip filled out and maybe grew a little bit and needed a career.

Skip is breezing at one of the private training centers in the Ocala area in the image. Race training did muscle him up and the exercise strengthened the horse. He retired sound and did not suffer any injuries while racing.

In the image, Skip, is leading the geldings on a search for Dot, the escaped Appaloosa mare. The geldings are quite attached to Dot and were beside themselves when the mare got out of the pasture. Dot was found grazing on one of the grassy pathways and returned to the boys.

Re: Skip The Act and the road "home"
Little Skip's owner has a young grand daughter that loves horses, especially Skip. The horse loves her too.
Skip has a Facebook page SKIP THE ACT and his owner has posted stories and photos about his life. He has 2,500 fans I believe.
Next, why Skip is "home".

Re: Skip The Act and the road "home"
Skip, the rescued Thoroughbred, is "home" . Sometimes it is ironic how life works out. I'm sure Skip's owner never envisioned that one day, he and two other mares she owns would come to live on the farm of the "horses on the hilltop".
