It was horrific and I will have a hard time with this for a while. Kordell was a great horse with a huge heart. He pushed thru pain and gave me everything he could. He stood strong until the end just not how I wanted him to go out. Luckily no one was else was hurt (besides some minor scrapes, bruises, etc) and my kids didn't see it.
Very sorry to hear about this..

thanks guys. Going to take a while for this one to heal. Going to go ride my 3 yr old mare (who is in IA in training) Wed- Sunday and hoping that she stays sounds and makes it to Reno this year. For those of you who don't know what working cow horse is. Here is a video from the snaffle bit futurity last year
