Sky Mesa Has Second Surgery

Three Chimneys stallion Sky Mesa underwent a second surgery yesterday after veterinarians discovered an impaction, the farm announced. Surgeons went through the same incision they used Feb. 15 when operating on the nine-year-old after he developed colic. “Sky Mesa had an impaction post-operatively yesterday afternoon and the surgeons at Rood & Riddle thought it best to correct it surgically,” said Case Clay. “The impaction was corrected and he has recovered well from the procedure. Again, we expect a full recovery and our target date has been slightly adjusted from March 15th to March 20th. He was bright and alert this morning in his stall and we will advise you with any notable updates.”
