Hi All. Have To Share This.

Nicole Graham was on afternoon ride along the coast in Australia, when her 18 year old horse Astro suddenly sunk into mud.

The woman managed to get out of the mire quickly, and to help another horse her daughter was riding, but Astro was only sinking deeper despite all the efforts it made to free itself.

So Ms. Graham clung at Astro’s neck and held its head above the water level for three hours until the rescue team came.

G’Day, Janey...((HUGS))...what an awesome story, and a scary several hours. Glad it all ended well for both horse and rider.
