Our dear friend Bullet, a 14 yo Lippizan, went to the hospital last night. They did a bowel resection and only give him about a 60% chance.
Please jingle your chains for Bullet and John. Bullet was rescued from New Holland by John quite some time ago and has successfully competed with him in Hunters and Dressage, PLUS he is a police horse as well with the LA County Sherrifs Department.
Me too… good thoughts sent Bullet’s way from NY.
c’mon bullet, willem needs his butt kicked by a handsome lippy like yourself!
Our thoughts and prayers are with John and Bullet during this difficult time.
Will continue jingling 
Lucien asked me to send his best wishes to Bullet. Being a Trakehner, he feels an afinity for the Lippizans and their history. 
Get well soon Bullet!!!
And more good wishes for Bullet from Arizona. I also love Lippizaners after riding a Lippizaner cross a few years back.
Louise, the horse I rode was Favory Apple (aka Favy) I believe - never put a foot wrong during lessons, but sure knew how to make you look like an idiot at a show How I loved that little horse
How is Bullet doing? I have been jingleing my curb chain.
Way to go Bullet - you can make it! We’re all rooting for you
Lucien is SO handsome. I get all warm and fuzzy for those big brown guys.
Chains are jingling and saying a few prayers as well. My thoughts are with Bullet and John.
++++++++++++++
Positive wishes sent your way! Come on Bullet!
was late last night. Bullet was holding his own, looked very washed up but had pooped and peed with no problem. He was very happy to see his dad. The 48 hrs afterwards are, of course, the most critical, and the big Hold Your Breath will come when they feed him. They give him a 60-70% chance of making it.
John says thank you for all the good wishes and jangles and jingles, which you can keep jangling while facing Chino, California.
C’mon big guy, you can do it…With that history he must be a fighter. You can do it Bullet!
Jingling late, but jingling away!!!

My fave horse in my whole life (many, many moons ago)was a Lippizaner. She had cool brands, a wonderful roman nose and a heart of gold. She too was a rescue.
Annie is piaffing in heaven for you, Bullet.
Get well!

Good Luck, and good wishes, prayers are with him.

Still in our thoughts, good to hear your feeling a schosh better!
Jingles…

Another chectnut supporter here. Stormy doing powerful horse voodo spells of support and protection for Bullet.
And, at 26, he’s had lots of time for voodo practice, so his spells are good.
