A bad "head" day
Posted in Photo Gallery
This post is doubling as a Show and Tell for Mary over at CanadaGirl's blog. I thought it was pretty unique. Stop over at Mary's to see more S&Ts!
Oh dear! This poor filly got her head stuck in a tree. For real. This is not Photoshopped! Here is the article that goes along with this picture:
This young filly needed to be freed from the tree after curiosity got the better of her. The horse, "Gracie," was unable to free itself and could have been in danger were it not for a passer-by who came to the rescue after he heard the horse whinnying. Jason Harschbarger, a neighbor in the town of Pullman, West Virginia, USA, arrived at the scene, which resembled the image of Winnie the Pooh getting stuck in the honey tree. Mr Harschbarger collected his tools and was able to carefully set the horse free by using a chainsaw to slowly cut the wood around its neck. Fortunately for Gracie, she was able to escape her ordeal with only a few minor injuries and, according to Mr Harschbarger, is on the road to recovery. Following his rescue operation, Mr Harschbarger told a local television station: "She has a few cuts on her face and ear."
It remains unclear why Gracie put her head into the gap.

You posted it. Thinking about horses, my guess is Gracie, whom Joy says hasn't much 'grace' to do such a thing, was looking for food. Much like Pooh Bear...just on a quest for the rumbly tumbly and got stuck. Gracie must be a patient soul and didn't struggle so much she broke anything which is sure good.
I like the running foal in the paddock graphic. :)
See you!

Okay, at first I thought you were "pulling out legs." Poor Gracie. That has to be a traumatic experience!

Oh my word! Thank goodness for the wonderful Mr. Harschbarger!!! And thank goodness he knew what to do!! Isn't the Lord wonderful like that?! Not only did he know someone needed to help the horse, but He knew to send someone who would know how to go about helping her!!
Thanks for sharing this crazy picture!!
