The very next weekend at the Futurity at the Clack a drome I finished 3rd in the 1st round and would have won the second round but tipped over a barrel.
   

January 1-3 was the Southern Rebel Futurity in N. August, SC.

January 16-18 I placed at the Central Mississippi Futurity. This is the last place I competed before colic.
   
 
January 22-25 was the IBRA Futurity at Murfreesbro, TN.

On January 23, 2009, a horse owner's nightmare. I began to get sick and Leslie noticed right away. She lead me over to the Performance Equine trailer. Where they did everything possible to make me feel better, but nothing worked.

After several hours Leslie and Carol Ann Coffey loaded me on the trailer and headed for Lexington, KY.
   

Arriving in Lexington, KY at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital at 2 am. Dr . Hopper and team where waiting. I had surgery that night and came through it great.

For 60 days I was hand walked twice a day for 30 minutes at a time. At the end of those 60 days I became quite the clown I would grab the lead rope and try to take it out of their hand or just jump in the air for no reason.

In April Leslie began to get me back in shape.
   

April 24-26 I competed in a futurity for the first time since surgery.

It was in Canvas, WV at Good Evening Ranch. I placed 4th in the second go.
