The Story It never rains in West Texas. Never until the spring of 1995 when it rained for 5 days straight. Imagine the surprise to come out of the house that Tuesday morning in March to find the Millers Hunter Under Saddle potential winner standing in the front yard on three legs eating grass.
A quick glance over the pasture confirmed that the gate had not been opened. By the visible signs in the mud outside the pasture it became quickly evident that Kelvis had jumped the 5 foot fence and the landing had not gone so well in the mucky, muddy mire. How bad could it really be? The walk back to the barn took an agonizingly long 10 minutes. He was barely able to bear any weight at all on that left front leg.
He stood quietly in his stall patiently waiting the 3 hours it too the vet to arrive. While being examined it was obvious he was in severe pain, but behaved as the perfect gentleman as usual with love and trust. The prognosis was the worst that could have been imagined. The words, "he has a broken leg" reverberated off the stall walls. Kelvis had differed a fractured humerus.
The thought of not treating this great stallion was not even a consideration. His remarkable disposition and quiet willing attitude gave faith that he would overcome this tragedy. Six months of stall rest and constant care was what the doctor prescribed. Most 2 year old stallions under these conditions would become restless and bored. Kelvis just seemed to know that this was for his own good. He never required tranquilizers during this time. As if healing alone wasn't miraculous enough, Kelvis now was to begin his show career - 49.5 total AQHA points in multiple events and a 4th at the 1996 World In Junior Working Hunter. This impressive career was established after healing a broken leg which resulted in permanent radial nerve paralysis. Kelvis was never able to move with those beautiful long flowing strides, but one thing that never changed was his sweet trusting disposition.
Kelvis always has been and always will be the perfect gentleman. This wonderful willing disposition is being passed along to his foals along with his short back and long flowing strides.
