Stubborn, loveable: The famous racehorse being treated for melanomas

Retired sprinting champion Chautauqua, 15, is undergoing treatment for melanomas at Living Legends retirement farm near Melbourne. The grey horse had 10 lumps surgically removed in September and now receives targeted chemotherapy and a $3000 equine vaccine. Melanomas affect 80 percent of grey horses over 15, though equine cases rarely spread and prognosis is excellent with treatment.
