    Thoughts, please, for Vela's horse, Gent (update by Vela post 33)

    I just wanted to post to ask for thoughts and prayers for Vela's beautiful morgan horse, Gent. Yesterday he was apparently badly kicked in the shoulder by another horse, right in the bony angle that sticks out. He was in a lot of pain and lame last night, and after giving him some pain medication and checking him again this morning found him to be much worse. She's taken him to the vet with fears of a fracture, permanent lameness or worse. Thanks for any quick thoughts or prayers you could send up for Gent.

    Oh my gosh, I hope he's okay. I immediately got tears in my eyes when I read this. For some reason, I don't do good with horses being hurt. Not that I can handle ANY animal being hurt. But horses, it's just waaay worse for me. Maybe because something I witnessed years ago.

    I will be thinking of Gent and Vela!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    It is so scary when a horse has a bad injury, you can't just put them on bed rest for a few weeks to heal up. I know she was worried sick when she left and I later received a text message that he was a lot worse and she was taking him in.

    Same goes for me. It always scares me when a horse gets hurt. Sorry to hear that Gent is hurt. What a gorgeous guy he is. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Handsome Gent is in my thoughts and prayers.

    Proud Gentleman, Mr. Trouble, you have a very worried fan club (not to mention momma and Jake). Be a good boy and let the doctors "work their magic."

    Please, please keep us updated on his condition. I pray it's nothing that time, rest, and linament can't cure.
