Success Stories: Mauled Horse

4/16/00

I was in Wyoming, at a ranch where I was helping to start 8 young horses the TTEAM way. One day the wranglers came down from the pastures to say that one of the horses had been mauled.. We ran up and saw the most awful sight. The horse couldn't move and most of the top of his leg was missing. Luckily someone had some Rescue Remedy and every 5 min. put some in the horses mouth. He stayed calm and let us touch him and eventually we persuaded him to move his leg. After about an hour we started moving him and eventually he hobbled down to the corral where the vet was able to treat him. The vet said that he would have been dead meat up in the pasture but that he thought it had been impossible to get him down without panicking him!!! The twist to this story is that it WASN'T a bear which had mauled him but a barbed wire fence!!
