I want to write about an incident that happened to us on the weekend of 8/22. I decided to go to a jackpot that Saturday evening. Since my in-law’s house was on the way to the jackpot, we stopped by and got them, their horse, and Sammy, who had been working in that area that day. We go to the jackpot and had a successful evening. I ran Amp there, for the first time in almost 6 weeks, and we hit the first barrel leaving it to place in the 1D against some tough competition. I was happy about that, and our grey filly, Slasher, had also worked really well. After we dropped Sammy’s parents and horse off at their house, we pulled back onto the highway to go home, and out of nowhere, this little red car hits the trailer on the passenger side. The car hit our trailer exactly where Amp and Slasher were, the two “standouts” of the evening. My first thought was about the horse’s safety. After checking on them and the girl that hit us and knowing everyone was okay, I instantly thought about how Satan WILL try to take your blessings from you…anyway he can. No matter how big or small, he wants to rob us of everything that makes us happy, blesses us, or brings prosperity to us; pretty much anything given to us from God he wants to steal.
It amazed me that none of the horses had not even a scratch on them, and to top it off, none of them seemed upset or nervous after she hit us. I know without a doubt that God had his hedge of protection around our rig and the horses, and I am so thankful for that. Other than probably totalling her car, our trailer had only minor damage done to it, and is still in working order. Amazing!
