They found a band of wild horses that included the mare and her severely injured colt.   "Spirit" is a red and white colt about 5 months old. He had a fractured left front leg and a lacerated right rear leg. He was injured while roaming with his mother's band.

These generous ladies took "Spirit" to UC Davis for surgery on his fractured leg. The surgeons put a plate in his front leg to stabilize the fracture until it heals at which time the plate will have to be removed because the colt is growing. "Spirit" has returned to Nevada and is presently recovering at an equine vet clinic in Reno, Nevada.

Along his journey to recovery, this colt has shown remarkable courage and a strong will to survive his injuries. He has touched every human heart with his bravery, gentleness and behavior that equals the best domesticated horse.

"Spirit" is without a doubt one of America's treasures. He needs your help! His vet bills have already topped $2,500.00 and he still has therapy and another surgery to go. Please reach into your hearts and send a tax deductible donation (federal 501(c)(3)) to:

The Horse Review will publish periodic updates and pictures of his condition. What a brave horse "Spirit" is!
