Where there is no veterinarian....

On the way home from church yesterday I came upon one of our neighbors horses.  For any of you that have seen our video, the horse belongs to Christopher's family.  He was bleeding from the head, apparently there was an accident with a machete.  I went home and called my dad, who was formally a veterinarian.  We got the horse in between two trucks so it couldn't kick us and I started to clean out the wound.  Thankfully, Tim knew a guy up the road that is a vet-tech.  He was able to come down to the camp and put in a few stitches. He was still alive this morning so, hopefully he'll make it.  You can image what a huge burden it would be for this family to lose their horse.
