Hi folks, I was following Bob's journey and was just devastated when I read the news about the accident, as we all were. I follow several other threads that involve horses and something I have NOT seen anyone mention about the surviving horses are ;Dtreats. My understanding is that veterinarian Billy Calvert in DeKalb is caring for them.
Does anyone know if there is a feed store nearby that we could call and maybe order up some horse treats for these girls? Perhaps order them directly through the feed store and maybe find someone to deliver them to the vets office? I would bet there are other horses there who might like some fresh carrots or apples or some of those nice horse cookies. I remember when Barbaro was at the New Bolton Center in Pennsylvannia a couple years back, there was a florist who delivered produce/horse treat baskets every week for him and the other horses at the hospital.
It's just an idear. I am sure they are getting tons and tons of love and pats, but treats always make a day brighter.

The grocery store number is 601-743-2662 (Pilgrim's Foodliner). I'm sure in a small town they'd be more than happy to deliver a goody basket of apples & carrots. The feed store number is 601-743-5483 (Clay Feeds) but I don't know if they're wholesale or retail.

Doc and Joyce graze at Dr. Billy Calvert's Kemper Animal Clinic in DeKalb. They enjoyed the carrots & apples we brought them (especially the apples) ... Doc couldn't get enough! (2/16/09)

Thanx Nwsgrl for the purty pix of Joyce & Doc. Joyce looks way bonier than the last time I saw her.... no more hay belly! Ain't Doc a flat handsome fella? Did you know that Joyce and DeeDee were named after waitresses at a cafe where Bob's Grandad, Jake, goes for breakfast every morning?

Joyce's lacerations were not that noticeable, but Doc has a bad lac. on his hindquarters that required stitches (at least that's what it looked like) ... but it didn't seem like he had slowed down at all. They both enjoyed the head-scratching they received ... and Doc attacked the apples with gusto and tried to steal Joyce's (who's a much slower eater than Doc). And Redpie, you are so right ... Doc is a handsome fella! He knows it too!

;D ;D ;D ;D Oh thanks so much for posting the phone numbers to the feed store and the grocery! Yes, I love small towns because everybody looks out for everybody......such a far cry from Dallas! Thanks again. I am so glad the "big un's" are doing better. I too love draft horses! They are like giant dogs!
