Careless Jewel

This has probably already been discussed in other forum topics but I thought that we could set aside her own personal topic for the young lady. As some of you may well know, Careless Jewel's foal had to be euthanized after its' leg became lodged in Careless Jewel's pelvis. The final contraction Careless Jewel emitted forced the foal's leg to dislodge, breaking its' femur in the process. As for Careless Jewel herself, she is currently in the ICU after undergoing surgery. Most recent news here:

    Sending out prayers for Careless Jewel's quick recovery. My deepest sympathy for the loss of her foal to her connections. RIP little one. :, (

    Yes, we have this under the 2014 foals topic. She does deserve a special place and I feel terrible for her. What a horrible situation for all involved during the foaling, just a nightmare. As VA_in_CA said about it on the other thread, it is a reminder of how things can go so wrong. Of course, I feel so bad for Careless Jewel and the foal, but I can imagine how frightening and awful it must have been for the people helping with the foaling. We have to be thankful for the easy births and happy outcomes and not take it for granted. I sure hope Careless Jewel can recover well. Does anyone know what kind of surgery she had? I hope not a situation like Rachel.

    I read an account on fb that said foal born no heartbeat and not breathing...got CPR...femur fracture discovered after transport to equine hospital with his mom.....very difficult birth due to distocia (spell?)...foals fracture termed "shattered" and "non-reparable"....sounds awful

    the pain that foal must of been in too
  • slewpyslewpy Member
    My heart goes out to Careless Jewel. And so sad about the foal. Heartbreaking.
  • VA_in_CAVA_in_CA Member
    We can hope his nervous system wasn't fully developed yet. And for some of the time he was unresponsive, no heartbeat or respiration, so hopefully not too much pain. I'm really hoping Crown Jewel recovers. So unfortunate the way it went.
  • louisecastellolouisecastello Member
    This must have been so devastating to the people with her for the foaling. What a helpless feeling when the foal is basically stuck, so scary! I still wish we knew what sort of surgery Careless Jewel had to have. It is all heartbreaking.

    Here is a more detailed info article. It's for miniature horses, but the similarities are close enough. Very informative.

    prayers to Careless Jewel, who will be operated on tomorrow afternoon after complications from foaling.

    Can't tell if this is a second surgery, or a reference to the surgery Karen said she already had.

    Poor little baby. Hope Careless Jewel recovers.

    Poor, sweet foal. Prayers being sent to the courageous Careless Jewel and her owners.
  • Joanna_TXJoanna_TX Member
    Ditto all the caring sentiments above. PU Jewel!
  • RebornRuffian12RebornRuffian12 Member
    My heart goes out to her, her connections, and of course her late foal. What I've heard is that she's in stable condition, but considering what she's been through she's probably still critical.
  • MsScorpio1MsScorpio1 Member
    Has anyone heard how Careless Jewel is doing? I can't find anything on her progress since surgery? My heart is heavy for her and the loss of her Foal.. So Sad. ;(
  • LyndaKLyndaK Member
    No and I search the internet everyday.
  • RoxanneLynnRoxanneLynn Member
    Has anyone called Hagyard?
  • DoreenDoreen Member
    I'm sure Hagyard won't release any information since she's a patient of one of their clients. Patients are guaranteed their privacy unless there is a genuine need to know (i.e. rabies, etc). We'll just have to wait until her owners decide to release any news on her condition. I've also been searching the internet daily, but as they say "no news is good news" so hopefully she is doing well.
  • RoxanneLynnRoxanneLynn Member
    I've been searching the Internet, too and coming up with nothing about Careless Jewel's status. As you said, Doreen, we'll just have to wait for updates if they decide to release any.
  • LyndaKLyndaK Member
    O agree..no news is good news

    I was watching the 2009 Breeders Cup Ladies Classic just now, looking for another horse, and saw this is the race that Careless Jewel led by 8 to 10 lengths for most of the race until almost the end when Life is Sweet came from last to win. I hadn't realized I had seen her before hearing of her foaling problems. Hope she is okay.

    Thanks, QueenZFan20QueenZFan20. Hadn't thought of posting the race. It's a good one and we get to see Zenyatta's pasture buddy run her (Z's) kind of race. Of course her trainer, seen at the end, wouldn't have anything to do with that. lol
