The stage was set; the props in place, the play
began:
Gary positioned Spirit’s foot for his photo shoot
and Spirit gladly obliged, not really knowing what was going on, chilled out in
his own little world.
The x-ray appeared on the screen, Paul looked on in
silence. After a while he asked to speak to Gary outside the stable! Jessica,
holding Spirit’s neck, glanced over to me, the look between us said it all: ‘what are they talking about...is it bad news?’
Although I was positioned just outside the stable
door and straining hard, I could not hear their exchange of words. Five minutes
that seemed an eternity passed before they both returned to the stage; Paul
looked again at the x-ray and shook his head. ‘I have
worked on many feet but.... I’m afraid I am going to have to walk away from
this one!’ Paul said gravely.
Jessica and my hearts missed a beat, whilst she
held back her tears I was puzzling around in my head: ‘this is not right, this is not the way it plays out today, I know it
isn’t... I KNOW Spirit does not get condemned today, something is wrong here!’
I thought to myself as silence engulfed the stable....
