He is off the trailer before Daniel even comes to a stop. Sasha tries to get up, but I gently hold her down and keep petting her.
“Lexie, I got here as soon as I could. What happened?”
I tell Trevor about the horse. He inspects Sasha, speaking softly and petting her the entire time. He’s a great vet. I can tell already. She warms to him, which she doesn’t do often. Like she knows he’s going to fix her. Or she remembers him from before.
“I don’t think anything is broken, but there is definitely a lot of tenderness and I won’t know about any internal bleeding until we can get her back to the clinic. My concern is her age. Even if we can fix something that might be wrong, I don’t know that she’ll be up for any kind of procedure. We really need to bring her in just to be sure.”
Trevor gives Sasha a mild sedative, then gets a board under her and straps her in. He and Daniel load her onto the ATV trailer.
“Do you want to meet me at the office?” Trevor asks me.
“I’ll be right behind you.”
There’s no room for all of us on the ATV and trailer, so I jog back to my house, grab my keys, and head into town.
