The last of a long line of off-spring, Cherokee Sunrise joined our
family in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 16th.
Arizona's justifiably proud of this little guy, she protects him with
a vengence!
Actually, there's a reason for Arizona's protective actions -
Cherokee isn't quite perfect, he has a problem with his fore and
hind legs. Due to complications with his formation, his legs are bent.

Going to take a lot of time and TLC but this little guy is going to be just fine eventually.
The first pictures on this page of Cherokee Sunrise were taken about an hour after he was
born. He was still VERY wobbly, but he was moving.
As I enter this, it's now the Tuesday after and he's much steadier and much stronger.
Things are beginning to look a lot better.

We took Cherokee Sunrise to the "Valley Equine Association" in Charlestown WV today - to
have them take a look at his legs. Boy, talk about being in the right place; here's this huge
race track with what must be thousands of stable stalls around it - and in the middle of it all
is just ONE vet-surgeon. This was definitely the right place to be with Cherokee! They
immediately fixed his front legs - seems they were more worried about the front than the
back, they say the back legs will straighten out on their own. Anyway, we've now got a
follow-up appointment in 4 weeks to check him over again. Looks like he's going to be just fine!
And, to think; this is the guy that local vets said should be "put down".
