What other way could he communicate so clearly to you - other than to romp himself silly on 14 acres to show you that he wanted to stay? Unbelievable - and so very touching!<br /><br />Those MYEI types are a badge of honor! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112453369738198010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602045830931362686.post-6339240589885788052010-04-08T09:40:27.881-06:002010-04-08T09:40:27.881-06:00And for those curious, the P3 fracture was in his ...And for those curious, the P3 fracture was in his front left and extended from toe to coffin joint with a subtle bone shift into the coffin joint. (Front limbs support 70 percent of the weight--so they're the worst if there's a problem like this).Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602045830931362686.post-65025948782478011302010-04-08T08:33:42.299-06:002010-04-08T08:33:42.299-06:00Thanks, Juanita.

I believe attitude is a good way to put it as well, and probable the reason he had what it took to survive the treatment of his broken coffin bone. <br /><br />The pictures Gun Diva added are all taken--Post Mortem. He was so close to be putting down (vet and disposal were scheduled) I don't have any problem calling his new life "post mortem". His prognosis was so, so poor at the time they finally discovered their error in diagnosis--he's a miracle horse. (or, a miracle farrier, I'm not sure which).Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602045830931362686.post-479039557093246752010-04-07T21:32:35.687-06:002010-04-07T21:32:35.687-06:00What a wonderful post.

He blatantly told you he wanted to live, and you listened.

Sometimes, too, it's just the right horse at the right time. He was that for me.<br /><br />And yes, I'm still getting "trained"-lol-by all the horses, really. And, growing older has changed me and my relationship to them as well. I don't have the "need for speed" I used to have--it's not all about heading to the nearest open field anymore. I get just as much enjoyment in the quiet moments with them.<br /><br />Thanks for all the nice comments. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602045830931362686.post-50290045339631125522010-04-07T13:49:21.221-06:002010-04-07T13:49:21.221-06:00Cowboy reminds me of the tough teacher we all had ...Cowboy reminds me of the tough teacher we all had back in high school. The one who challenged us, who expected more than we wanted to give, who we sometimes really didn't like, who made us earn our grades and our lessons. Cowboy reminds me of them, because they're the ones we later think of fondly. They're the ones we never forget.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602045830931362686.post-84821334775869723992010-04-07T11:02:42.809-06:002010-04-07T11:02:42.809-06:00Sounds like my kind of horse.
