Thank You Foothills
On May 4th my adult daughter was pulling our horse trailer with two of her show horses with our heavy truck. As the road was soft at one point, it pulled a back trailer tyre and caused both the horse trailer and the truck to roll over twice. Her father was following behind her, and so he was the first on the scene. My daughter was able to crawl out of the truck, and of course her concern was her showjumping horses. Within minutes there were the RCMP, a vet, my daughter’s coach and his wife from Legacy Farms, my daughter’s boyfriend, a couple of cowboys, All-Rite Towing, and neighbours. As I heard this story from my husband after the event, I could not be more impressed with the care and concern and safety shown by all present to make sure that my daughter and the horses were okay. Even when I came upon the accident an hour later, the RCMP and All-Rite Towing were still on site. The RCMP were gracious to me as I was highly concerned on my way to see my daughter. She was at the Oilfields General Hospital, and her care was excellent. The horses went to Moore and Company north of Calgary, care of Legacy Farms, and the horses were well-tended to as well. It was in those crisis moments that your community came together to assist my daughter, my husband, and our prize horses. Because of the great care and combined expertise, both my daughter and our horses survived this terrible rollover. The truck and trailer are another issue, but those items can be replaced.
To those people who showed up, even though I may not know your names, I am thankful every day for people like yourselves who came together for my daughter and our horses. You have amazing people in the Foothills area!
Sincerely,
Susan Grant-Suttie
