On the last day of Norm Clarke’s Colorado getaway two weeks ago, he witnessed an incredible act of compassion by a young horse named Skids.
The drama unfolded as a reddish sunset ran the length of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Skids, a black 2-year-old quarterhorse, saw his pasture mate collapse on the Roberts ranch near Westcliffe.
While Hank, a 26-year-old retired saddle horse, appeared to be giving up, Skids gave his all to save his friend.
