Sire TLA Halynov
The Initial Injury
This
is
the
true
story
of
the
son
of
TLA
Halynov,
Scimitar
or
“Bunny,”
as
he
was
nicknamed,
due
to
his
biting
off
part
of
his
lip
during
the
injury,
making
his
face
look
“bunny-like.”
He
was
running
in
pasture
one
night
and
ran
into
a
branch,
driving
a
3
inch
stick
into
his
head,
narrowly
missing
his
brain.
He
was
down
for
4
months
and
a
myriad
of
healing
techniques
were
used
to
prevent
pneumonia
and
infection.
For
the
full
heartwarming,
inspiring
story,
go
to
this
Page
for
the
heart-wrenching
story,
as
told
by
Bette,
by
emails
to
and
from
Ridecamp,
the
international email group.
Bunny is Attached to the Anderson Sling
With
the
help
of
Roberta
Lieberman
and
Linda
Tellingon-Jones
and
their
T-touch
techniques,
and
much
advice
from
Ridecamp
followers,
Bunny
was
able
to
survive
the
4
months
of
being
down.
Once
he
was
physically
able
to
be
upright,
the
difficult
process
of
getting
him
back
on
his
feet
was
accomplished
with
the
use
of
the
Anderson
Sling,
which
was
generously
supplied
by
Alamo
Pintado
hospital.
Many
modalities
were
used
to
facilitate
his
recovery
including
the
Alphasonic
infrasound device, T-touch, Reikki, and medications for his decubitus ulcers, (pressure sores).
Arduous Rehabilitation Begins
Bunny’s
journey
from
his
initial
injury
through
an
arduous
and
painful
rehabilitation
was
reported
in
many
horse
magazines,
discussed
in
horse
chat
rooms,
and
followed
by
horse
enthusiasts
around
the
globe.
Although
video
taken
of
him
was
originally
intended
only
for
family
and
vets,
fans
of
Bunny
requested
that
the
story
of
this
horse’s
refusal
to
give
up
be
made
into
a
film.
Aired
on
Dish
Network
and
DirecTV,
his
tale
of
courage
has
touched
and
inspired
many,
who
have
challenges
of
their
own.
If
you
wish
to
have
a
copy
of
the
movie
made
from
impromptu
footage
of
Bunny’s
journey,

We
are
asking
a
donation
for
the
DVD
to
help
defray
the
cost
of
making the DVD and mailing.
