It ain’t over till it’s over…
This picture was taken exactly one year ago today. Lacy was lost in 667 thousand acres of wilderness in Yuma County. Temperatures in the 90s. No shade. No water. No food. Just rock, cactus, and heat. This was the moment after we finally got her out of the mountains. She laid down because she had nothing left. She needed to rest. Truth is, she was on her last day. Hope had already run out for her…
We kept hearing it. “You’re wasting your time.” “She’s dead.” “She’s 25 years old. That’s like 85 in human years.” You know… her golden years. Even the owner had reached the point where she had come to terms with the thought that her horse had died out in that desert. But little did anybody know, Breezie and I are true believers in miracles, because we’ve been part of many. We didn’t believe she was dead. We knew she was alive.
We didn’t even start searching until four days into it. That’s when everyone else had already lost hope, and nobody believed she was still alive. For three straight days we tracked her over and through the rugged KOFA mountain range. Up rocky slopes. Down dry washes. Mile after mile in that heat. Thirty-two miles from where she ran away… we found her. She had lost over #150 but she was alive, and recovered.
Alive. Alive. Alive.
That picture right there is a 25-year-old horse, in her golden years, who was supposed to be dead… resting after surviving what most said she couldn’t. Today, Breezie and I are heading back out into the desert searching for another miracle. So remember this. It ain’t over until it’s over.
Please send positive vibes and thoughts as we continue the search for Nancy.
Miracles are real. We’ve seen them.
