My accident
On
my way home from the area Friesian practice today I hit a deer. I pulled the truck to a stop and ran to my trailer. It
was rocking back and the sides were bowing. I couldn't see Phoenix. A neighbor of mine recognized my trailer and pulled
over. He got me to get the trailer off of the road. 911 was called and I started to evaluate the situation. I poked
my head in and saw that Phoenix was under Aslan and under the divider. I shut the door because he was trying to get up
again. I opened Aslans half and took him out of the trailer. I passed him to a bystander who tied him. I turned my attention
onto Phoenix. I wanted to blind fold him but it was too dangerous. I saw that Aslan was tied to a gate with a knot at
the very end of the rope next to the high way. I moved him. By now I was hysterical and called my barn and Cindy for
help because I could see that the inside of my trailer was damaged. They got there about the time the police made it
there. I was sent to the car because I wasn't being helpful by now. Phoenix broke the divider and was standing by now.
The divider was fixed well enough to get Aslan back in and get the trailer moving again. We waited for the vet to make
it before we took the horses out of the trailer. Phoenix had a small trickle of blood going down his leg Aslan had some
bruising. The vet said I was very lucky. No serious injuries that are known at this time. I need to keep a close eye
on them for the next 48 hours. Katie
