This is about the saddest thing I've heard in a long time.

A man named Bob Skelding, from Deerfield, NH where we travel frequently to horse shows, went off last fall in a custom made wagon and 4 Percherons to travel across the country. He was struck by a tractor trailer in Mississippi yesterday, two of his beautiful horses were killed & the other two trapped in the wreckage for some time. Bob is in critical condition and family members are lucky to be not severely injured.

Here's a link to some of the news footage: http://www.mahalo.com/Bob_Skelding

and a link to his blog, which is entertaining as well as inspiring. Chillingly it ends abruptly on 2/9.

Get well, Bob and our prayers are with you.
