Pets of St. Vincent – Bowie

Our Pet of St. Vincent this week is probably the largest pet we’ve ever featured here! Everybody meet Bowie, a retired racehorse owned by Andrea Garlapati, RN, at the Infirmary!

Bowie is a 4-year-old who has hung up his racing shoes for the slower pace of life. Bowie now spends his time learning how to be an English riding horse, which takes some finesse. In return, Andrea says he requests a healthy dose of carrots, as well as all the snuggles and scratches she can give. Bowie has given Andrea immense joy and and love, helping decompress after long shifts and bringing a smile with his playful antics.

We love getting to feature such a unique pet like Bowie! So remember, it’s not just dogs and cats that we include in our Pet of St. Vincent feature.
