"My savior will always be my horse.  One day I went out to the horse barn and Vegas, my grandmother's horse, decided that she wanted to eat first.  In order to get to the bucket, she had to knock me down.  So she did and then when I was down I could not get up because she knocked me down pretty hard.  Then, my horse, Cherokee, saw me laying there and she knew I would have gotten stomped on.  She turned around and gave me her tail so I could hang on to something and get up.  Then she went and got my grandmother and I was saved by my horse, Cherokee!"
