HELP FOR NICKIE....

We need your help for our beloved Nickie. Many of you might remember that he is the first rescue by Brighter Days back in 1987. He was abandoned and left to starve. At 18 months old, he turned out to be the kindest and sweetest colt ever...and he still is.

Somehow Nick has cracked a pelvic bone and our vet is recommending Shock Wave therapy. That session will cost around $1,000. Hopefully he will only need one treatment. The therapy will help stimulate blood flow and help seal the crack.

As for now he is being walked twice a day and he is being kept away from his buddies so as not to aggravate the injury. So he is not a happy camper!

If you can help Nick you can use PayPal or send a check to: BDHR, 682 Krause Rd, Pipe Creek, TX 78063. And be sure to print "Nickie" on your check. Thank you so much.
