“This ‘Feel Good Sunday’ we would like to share with you a story of a group of people who are very near and dear to the hearts of all equestrians in our part of Texas; they are the staff and students at Texas A & M University’s Large Animal Hospital. In our parts, when a vet conducts an emergency field visit to a sick or injured horse and quickly accesses that the situation is more than he can handle the equine patient is immediately transported to Texas A & M University in College Station, Texas…a mere 40 minute trip for us. A & M has saved one of our horses from the jaws of death and also eased another gently across the bridge. I will never forget the sympathy card signed by all who attempted to save the life of a very dear equine friend of mine. Their sincere care, concern and compassion are forever emblazoned upon my heart; so today we tip our hats to those who endeavor to dedicate their lives to better the bond between both horse and human. Simply put; Thank You!” ~ R.T.
