Wow, we had a scare yesterday! Earl, Kalon, Dally, I, and Earl's brother, Joe, were getting Earl's dad's cows out of the Cedar Hill yesterday. We were short a couple of head, so Earl sent me, Dally, and Kalon south with the big herd while he looked for the rest. The cows were pretty stirred up and we had to trot to keep up. As we topped out over the third ponds bank, I heard Dally start screaming. I looked back to see her coming off the side of Cherry as they came down the steep bank. By the time I got back to her, she was on the ground screaming. She was missing her boot and she kept screaming about her foot. Here I was out in the middle of nowhere- ready to panic. I didn't even have anywhere close to tie horses to. I baled off and tried to figure out what was going on and what I could do. Dally said that Cherry had stepped on her foot after she came off of her. Obviously, she didn't have her boot on when it happened because it was clear back up the enbankment. Kalon later told us that he'd seen it fly off as she was coming off the side. I pulled her sock off and her toes and the top of her foot were all scraped up and bruised. I thought that she had major troubles because she was still screaming and was starting to go into shock. She was shaking so badly! Warren was waiting down at the corrals so I called him. He said that he'd meet us at the east fence. I got Dally got back on Cherry and we found Grandpa who took her into town to Grandma Rainy. We finished getting the cows moved and then hurried home to find Dally limping around Grandma's house. She was sore but okay. She had told Lorraine that her foot hurt worse on the back by her heel. When we looked, it was all scraped up and bruised. After getting Kalon's version, Dally's version, and reasoning out the rest, we figured that she had been stepped on by two different hooves. She is still a little sore but doing okay today. It could have turned out so much worse. I know that Heavenly Father was watching out for two of little girls today. (Well, one little and one not so little). We are so blessed!
