Incredible

As I drove by I wondered what the Equine Center does. I stopped and asked. That's how I ended up with the horse surgery story and witnessed one of the most incredible things in my life.

The woman I first talked to kept saying, "I don't know that we do anything special." I could tell by the gigantic plastic hose that they stuff down the horses' throat that this was to be unlike anything that I've ever seen.

That's how I found myself witnessing a 1,150 pound horse flipped over onto her back, and lifted into the air by her feet. They put her on to the operating table an the two techs and doctor struggled to push the horse into the operating room.

It was perhaps one of the most unusual things I've ever seen.
