Friends and Sick Horses

My best friend, Ashley, gave me this picture way back in the day.  The caption reads "Hold on to Good Friends"  - if only it were that easy...  I like to think it is.






This weekend I spent a lot of time with my (usually neglected) horse, Jet.  Dad called me up Saturday morning to let me know that Jet wasn't doing so well and that he thought Jet had coliced again.  Colic is were the horses gut gets all twisted up and can potentially be fatal to the animal.  Jet was sprawled out in the middle of the field just laying there in a huge puddle of mud (as you can clearly see in the pic below, because that horse is filthy!).  Dad thought he was dead, twice.  So I went over to my parents house to walk my horse around and see if I could help make him feel better.

So two days of walking him around, keeping him in a stall, and letting him eat only green grass... I think his tummy ache is going away.  I did get to spend a gorgeous Sunday morning with my horse, a delicious cup of hot coffee, and talking to God :)  Perfect start to a lovely day!
