Clyde (Jockey Club name Westsideclyde) is a 22 year old Thoroughbred gelding. His career earnings was $145,000, winning or in the money for 15 of his 18 races. He didn't finish his last race in 2010, but he did go on to be successful Hunter/Jumper competitor and then a school horse. The kids he taught to ride now travel SIX hours from the other side of the state to come visit him. He is THAT kind of guy!

Clyde is one of the cherished equine "Coaches" at Second Chance Ranch, and he recently sustained a life-threatening injury. This follows his overcoming lymphangitis and a guttural pouch infection. With your help last year, he triumphantly fought through all of this!

Clyde's journey is a powerful reminder of resilience, hope, and the irreplaceable role that animals like him play in our healing and growth. Through his Equine Assisted Psychotherapy work at Second Chance Ranch, Clyde has been a beacon of hope, a catalyst for change, and a life-saving companion for many facing their darkest moments. As we rally to support him, we're not just funding his recovery, we're investing in the legacy of hope, healing, and transformation that he represents. Clyde's story is far from over. It's a chapter in the larger narrative of compassion, resilience, and the endless possibilities of love and support.

SCR has raised $4,500 toward his $13,500 hospital bill. All Clyde wants from Santa is to continue on his healing journey. Any amount toward his vet costs is so very much appreciated!

Thank you to Katherine W., France A., Bonnie L., Al H., Irene J., Angela R., Suzanne B., Dianne E., Diane M., and April F. for helping Clyde with his vet bills!
