Misty walked the excited palomino thoroughbred stallion through the gate and into the track "come-on boy we can do this and beat our time" .She climbed up in the saddle took hold of the reins and made sure she was secure she left the riding crop at home Thunder wouldn't need any encouragement "ok boy let's RUN" .They came around the first turn like lightning then as they were coming around the second turn Thunder slipped and fell BUT he came out of it and kept running Misty tried to stop him but he was in the middle of his favorite track he wasn't going to stop now! "whoa boy easy there it's ok whoa big fella"at the end of the track he stopped , Misty jumped off of him and started checking him out everyone had come around to see if he was ok HE WAS NOT he had a very deep cut on his right fore leg" i need to take him to the vet" Misty said. She led him over to the trailer and she took him to the vet and he has a badly bruised cannon bone and hock and knee so he has to be in a sling for a month or 2
