If you haven't watched, hope you get the chance, this is wonderful. A wild Mustang, owned by someone in Phx, was stranded on a sandbar since last friday. There were shrubs and stuff for him to eat, but they had to get him home. Someone donated the money for the rescue chopper (about $3000, they say) and they worked for over an hour this AM getting him harnessed and tranqualized and hooded for his 1/2 mile flight. He took it in stride and the rescue was amazing. This is what this company does, so they know what they are doing. It was such a nice soft landing, they did a great job for this horse. He is now walking of his daze and grazing, good story with a happy ending. I love horses! Carol ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
