He looks like he could do a job though when he's fully recovered and like you said what a tough horse.Ranch Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230951347227450112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-11480943726516296792010-07-13T22:07:37.026-04:002010-07-13T22:07:37.026-04:00Wow!

And, by the way, go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. You did the right thing the right way, and didn't expect a thing for it. No donations, no accolades. You simply did the right thing-it's what more folks should do. I think we'd see a lot more horses in good hands if more "horse angels" followed your example.RH2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-65723034357792315642010-07-13T20:05:01.245-04:002010-07-13T20:05:01.245-04:00Just for the record he was named Woody BEFORE beca...Just for the record he was named Woody BEFORE because of the Ciderwood in his pedigree. Poor bugger, I can imagine how it felt to carry that thing around all that time. I don't pat myself on the back too much. It seemed to cheaper to put him down than to feed him that long for nothing. I had no clue what to do but had the advantage of being involved when there was nothing left to lose. I fully expected him not to be comming back from town that day. <br /><br />He has probably gained 125 pounds but like all the Leo Maudie horses I have ever seen he will never be known for his halter looks but I think he'll make a horse.rh1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-66778491098178558402010-07-13T17:12:34.569-04:002010-07-13T17:12:34.569-04:00THAT was one hell of a splinter!
