Warmed by Windchill : A Tiny Colt's Fight for Life Paperback / softback
by Jeffrey L. Tucker
Paperback / softback
Description
One bitterly cold winter afternoon, a nine-month-old colt-extremely weak, starving, left to die-was frozen to the rock-hard white landscape of a northern Wisconsin pasture.
His whinny for help barely carried through thirty-mile-an-hour winds lashing snow and ice against his thin coat.
But somewhere inside him a light refused to go out. The colt's call for help was answered, and that light inspired a worldwide response to his story.
The struggle of the little colt, called Windchill by his rescuers, was reported widely, and soon 1.2 million people were following Windchill's progress on a blog and webcam. Warmed by Windchill tells how Jeffrey L. Tucker, owner of nearby Raindance Farms, and Kathi Davis, owner of a horse training operation co-located at Raindance, rescued and cared for the colt, aided by an outpouring of assistance.
Donations of money, feed, blankets, and other supplies streamed in as round-the-clock volunteers tried to save Windchill.
Warmed by Windchill is both heartening and heartbreaking.
