With 60 years' experience working and showing Belgian horses, Percy is a friend to anyone who loves horses. He helped Wendy & Bill WIshart with their Clydesdale, Keri, at Rear Ball's Creek. Anyway, she made the final effort, and she got on her feet. She stood there. Well look, those other horses were so pleased-- they came up and started talking to her. And you believe me. They'd go down so far in the field. And she hadn't made a step yet. And they'd go so far. And they'd come back--three other horses. They're there in the field yet. They'd come back. And they'd whinny for her, "Come on with us. Come on with us." This is apparently like they were talking. She hadn't eaten, you know, for two days--not anything--or (for) three days....

(And you feel the horses were taking her to where the better aftergrass was.) That's apparently--seemed like that. The other, where they were graz? ing up, wasn't good enough for her. They pointed right--I can take you and show you where they took her, was right on the side of the hill where there was lush grass. It's hard to believe. I guess the Lord gave them more sense than us,, you know. If a man had the brains of a horse, he'd be smart. Smarter than what he is.
