Horse Treated with Stem Cells 10 Years Ago and Still Winning!
CP Merritt is a great stem cell success story. Some of you may remember a blog from many years ago about Merritt’s stem cell treatment and recovery. If not, you can read the original blog from 2012 here.
As a quick refresher, Merritt originally had his right rear fetlock treated by Dr. John McCarroll of Equine Medical Associates in 2007. After the treatment, Merritt bounced back to win two Top Tens in Show Hack and Saddle Seat Equitation at Youth Nationals. His owners considered him a “Medical Miracle.”
Recently, Merritt’s owner reached out to us to give us an update on their beloved horse. Though it’s been over 10 years since Merritt was treated with stem cells, he continues to compete at a champion level! He was the 2018 Arabian Horse Association Region XI Champion in amateur English trail and the Reserve Champion in open English trail. You can read Merritt’s full story here.
