Pulled An All Nighter

Don't you just HATE when a crisis starts at night..... that's what accured at our house last night at about 10pm. My horse started with the belly pains (stomach turning), he has had this before and we have walked him around the block a few times and it helped it pass. Well when it started late last night we could not walk around the block because there are no street lights and it would be too scarry. I walked him and walked him around the pen keeping him from going down on the the ground so he could not roll, that is what will turn the stomach and that would be very bad. By 2am. I could no longr get him up off the ground! We tried everything to get him up but he would not budge, I thought we had lost him for sure. Kelly & I went in the house we were exhausted and I must have dozed off for a few hours, I woke up about 5am and Roper was UP! He was doing just fine : ) It was like a miracle this morning seeing him look at me with those big baby eyes of his when I thought for sure he was a goner - Thank you God!!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!
