Registered Name: Sams Hot Kitten
Alias: De Niro
He’s named for the handsome, (albeit distinguished) good looks he shares with the actor Robert De Niro. He is a super sweet gelding, off the track. De Niro is always in your pocket and loves to be handled. De Niro has the personality to make an excellent junior mount!

De Niro would be a difficult horse to place due to the bone growth on his face. The bump formed after an injury he sustained years ago. As it healed improperly, the bone continued to grow and remodel thus becoming a protrusion.
The Fawor Foundation is raising money to get the bump surgically removed. The surgery is going to cost $2000. If we can get 100 people to donate just $20 dollars each we’ll have his surgical appointment in no time! Although it’s mostly cosmetic, the location of the bump is the issue. It becomes a problem with nearly any halter and cavesson. De Niro’s bump may be distinguished and endearing, but he’s definitely better off without it! If you want to see De Niro’s beautiful face sans the bump please donate twenty bucks! You can donate super quick!

Jo, I wish we were closer, he would make a perfect horse for a friend of mine but CO to NC is much to far. I look forward to following your blog and next pay period a donation will be coming your way.
