{"product_id":"blanck-cathy-a-party-for-artie-9780975305904","title":"A Party for Artie","description":"Arctic Course (Artie), is a bay thoroughbred horse. By the age of two he was traveling to Great Lakes Downs in Muskegon, Michigan, and racing at the track. Artie loved to race and took the sport very seriously. After three years of racing in Michigan, Artie suffered an injury at a track in Chicago, Illinois. Sadly, the injury put an end to Artie's racing life but opened the door to another life. Artie was donated to the Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses Organization (CANTER) by his original owner. CANTER is an organization that places ex-racehorses from the track up for adoption and into loving homes across the United States. They also make sure each of their injured horses are treated before they are ready for placement. Artie received knee surgery at Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine (MSU). Ariel found Artie through CANTER and adopted him. A party for Artie, is a story inspired by an actual event. For Artie's sixth birthday, Ariel threw him a party. She sent out invitations to all of the boarders at the farm, his former owner and jockey, racing trainer, CANTER members, and to MSU. Everyone came to celebrate Artie's birthday.","brand":"Red Barn Reading, Harbor Springs, MI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53698193654102,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780975305904_1.jpg?v=1778863416","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/blanck-cathy-a-party-for-artie-9780975305904","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
