Hello everyone,

it has been a while since I wrote to all of you. I am sorry, but I have been a little selfish...Guess what?? I am in LOVE! That is right --- Cupid's arrow came zooming through the air and aimed for my heart.  Her name is Savannah, and she is part of that Somerset case that has been all over the news. She is a beautiful Bay and a little older. We take things slow, stand side by side by the food barrel, snooze in the sunlight, or go for little strolls in the pasture. You can't tell that Savannah has a severe heart murmur. My friends....she is one lovely gal.

Otherwise things are pretty awesome too. I have gained about 450 lbs so far, and am feeling pretty good. I just recently saw myself on TV. Ryan Gingerich's the "Behaviorist" just aired part one of two on RFD TV. It is unbelievable to me that I was THAT skinny.

Enough about me. Let me tell you about Morgan. Morgan came to the Grace Foundation about 2 years ago. She is a former racing beauty. Morgan has been living with 4 other Grace horses at a beautiful foster facility just outside Jackson. On Monday, September 1, 2008 Morgan got into a terrible accident. She broke through a wooden foot bridge with her hind legs. Her foster father acted quickly and started to cut her out of her trap. Morgan sustained severe laceration due to the fall on all four legs. Caretakers from the Grace Foundation rushed out to help. As it was a  holiday weekend they had a difficult time reaching a vet. Morgan had lost a lot of blood and was in very poor condition. The gals from Grace were able to get her onto the trailer and rushed her to the hospital. Morgan is a very strong girl, and held on until they reached Willow Oak Equine Clinic, where the vet team of Dr. Linda Harrison and her husband Butch did an outstanding job saving her. Morgan spend 5 days in the hospital until they were able to take her back to the Grace Foundation. She is in good spirits and heading for a 6-8 month recovery. Her dressings need to be changed daily and she will be on heavy antibiotics and strong painkillers for a while. I can't imagine what the cost is, and will be....but you know how dedicated the folks at the Grace Foundation are! 

If I could ask a big favor of you all and keep Morgan in your thoughts and wish her well!  Thank you!

OK - I am off to treat my lady on a walk! See you soon!
