This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi All,
Jim and I are home. We finally signed him out of the hospital "against medical advice" and got a last minute flight home. We are tired, but OK. Jim goes to the doctor tomorrow to see if he really has a cardiac problem that requires a pacemaker....or whether it something that is just an anomaly that needs no attention. He may also need surgery on his foot. BUT, we seem to be fine for now. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and contact info. I will write more later when things are a little less hectic. For now, I will say that my absolutely bombproof gelding sired by Leidho is looking better all the time, even if we did install a few problem ground manners in him. I suspect the accident was caused by a young mare who may not the temperament to be a driving horse. The carriage company makes a point of using "old style" Oldenburg horses....not the lightly built (and probably hotter) "new style" that are used for dressage. I suspect this one may have more of the "new style" temperament, though she definitely had good big bones. Something to think about for Fjord horses. If someone knows anything further about Ellie's injuries, please e-mail me privately. I am hoping she does not have a serious head injury. She definitely had a bad case of road rash on her forehead, but it appeared at the scene like she was not going to have a brain injury. Finally, I would love to know where Leidgho is. Gail
