Vet in 900 mile journey to help Standing Rock horses

[Catherine]

Thank-you for posting this.

I have been following the Standing Rock situation. I am against the pipelines and the damage they will do to the waters if they go through the area.  I support the protestors because they are right and because my grandmother was native/metis. 

I hadn't realized that the horses were being injured. Dr. Wright is an amazing person. She saw a need and she went to great lengths to help.  She is a true hero.  It is unbelievable that they are shooting at the protestors. It is unthinkable that they are shooting at their horses.

I am just glad that the land will be protected and the protests have worked. I hope no horses suffered serious injury.
The vet was really thinking when she brought her supplies. It made it possible for her to teach the protestors how to care for their horses when she is gone. So her gift of help will continue long after her departure.
