While it was not as serious as his previous episode, he also wasn\u2019t up to the same intensity in his training regiment\u2014which, as you may recall, was still not very high when the prior incident occurred.<\/p>\n<p>This has made the decision very easy and clear: the only truly viable (and responsible) course of action is to retire Authentic Spirit. The only other consideration would be to give him another extended break from training (six months) and try again, but given his episodes have taken place so early on in the training process, it would be very unlikely for him to ever progress to the point of being able to race successfully in the future. We believe we\u2019ve given him every chance, and we have to do what\u2019s best for the horse at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, our partner and Authentic Spirit\u2019s breeder, Carrie Brogden, was gracious enough to take Authentic Spirit back to her farm in Kentucky with the goal of making him a riding horse for her daughter. Once he arrives back in Kentucky, we are certain we will still get updates and content and will plan to pass along any updates we are able to share.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-blk-footer relative card-like-fav-section ng-scope\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Authentic Spirit had been doing well upon his return to training, as farm trainer Ciaran Dunne began to ramp up the pressure in preparation for speed work, your son of Authentic had another EIPH episode.
