AcesBlackGoldDrifter Zanardi

AcesBlackGoldDrifter was not only a beloved horse but a beloved member of the family. He died from a broken neck while waking up from an allegedly low-risk neurectomy procedure performed by a future veterinary board investigator (18-124).

AcesBlackGoldDrifter was an AQHA-registered quarter horse very loved by all his family. He grew up alongside his devoted human companion, a girl who loved all things equine and shared the best of times with her horse.

Even death could not sever their bond of love and loyalty. Given one last chance to stand up for her friend and childhood companion, she was removed by Arizona veterinary board security personnel for challenging their handling of her friend's death.
