| October 30, 1998 - A few weeks ago, Bobbi and Bette of the
equine rescue group, Wild Horse Spirit, Ltd., got a call about an injured
wild horse out in Stagecoach, Nevada. They hooked up to their trailer and went out to the
desert. What they found was heart-breaking. 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.
Spirit goes to UC Davis 10/16/98

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
