I raced her to the vet and she also survived, against all odds. After $3000, I thought, what difference does it make whether it's one pound or a thousand, she is an amazing family member, and she's worth it. I'd spend this on a colic surgery in a second! It was only one week in the hospital of touch and go, and coddling when she got home, but I'd do it again in a second. <br />Endurance horses are TOUGH!<br />Kudos to you and Amigo, and I'm headed to PayPal now!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295692166259862627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-86412349838550465882010-03-04T04:56:46.498-08:002010-03-04T04:56:46.498-08:00I just came across this story and am amazed at Ami...I just came across this story and am amazed at Amigo and the love of his owner.

If everyone who could spare even the smallest donation would also do so Gary probably wouldn't have to work a second job. <br />I had a pregnant mare who had a similar accident 2 years ago when she was a week from her delivery date. Only she impaled her stomach when a fence post broke, we think from her itching against it. Although she developed a massive infection we were very lucky that her uterus wasn't compromised. Thanks to my vet & the folks at UC Davis large animal hospital both survived & are doing well today.Equestrienne176https://www.blogger.com/profile/15686308100418513734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-15127026500607494692010-02-24T13:24:17.814-08:002010-02-24T13:24:17.814-08:00It's all in a name.

My Amigo suffered an injury many years ago and the vet decided it would be best to euthenize him because he would never walk again. I couldn't accept that and I went to work. With a lot of help from a friend and a lot of love I never gave up on my amigo. Today I have one of the greatest horses I have ever owned and at 19 years he's still going strong and running with the youngsters. Have faith and pray, miracles do happen.Bopseehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15243357825845578699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-42573581583234144352010-02-23T21:51:54.990-08:002010-02-23T21:51:54.990-08:00That would be a great idea.

Wow!<br /><br />What an incredible story! That first picture made my heart skip a beat! I'm so glad Amigo is doing well and that his owner was compassionate enough to take the chance. This is such an amazing tale to read about, and I think Amiga and his owner need all the press (and money for vet bills) they can get.
