Wow! One, very cute horse!  Tell her owner she has something special! From
her
color, she looks more grulla, than buckskin; one of my favorite colors! My
mustang
mare is also grulla, with two tone mane, dorsal strips and leg barring...

Subject: [RC] Navajo Lady--The Rest of the Story


>   I just ran out and shot these current pictures of Navajo Lady. These

> the liberty of re-posting the "before" pictures as well. That's my 17
> year-old daughter (the one who insisted we bring the horse home)
> pictured with Lady's owner, Mrs. Lauer.  She is now a bona fide cancer
> survivor, and is enamored with Lady.
>    It turns out there is more to her story. About two months ago, at the
> first episode of cold weather here, Navajo Lady may not have drank
> enough water, and she was throwing herself to the ground in pain. The
> vet came out and performed standard colic treatment, after which Mrs.
> Lauer spent three nights in the barn in single digit weather, and with
> no heater, nursing the horse. She continued to fail, and was taken to
> the veterinary hospital, where she spent an additional three days on
> IV's and intensive care. The vet called at one point and said she
> wouldn't make it through the night. But, she did. A few prayers and
> agonizing hours later, Navajo Lady made a turn for the better, and
> recovered completely.
