Floods Carry Horse 14 Miles From Home

[Roon]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Cathy Moreland was in Dallas when her Pennington Bend home was submerged to the gutters by floodwaters over the weekend. Her only thought was that her animals be saved.

Her brother, Judge Casey Moreland, and her son, Casey Weaver, made a desperate attempt: They got a dog out first, then moved on to Cathy Moreland's six horses. Three horses were saved, two died and one was missing.

Then, an old high school friend called Cathy Moreland and said she thought she saw her horse on TV, but nowhere near her house.

"I didn't want to get my hopes up because that was way too far," said Cathy Moreland. "Fourteen miles, I mean, that is a long way for a horse ... There's no way that that could be my horse."

1. damn slow dial up

takes forever for news sites to load
don't know if article claims horse was in the water that distance but 15 miles is NOT far for a horse to travel otherwise - WTF?

"Fourteen miles, I mean, that is a long way for a horse ... There's no way that that could be my horse."

2. I thought the same thing.

A horse can cover a lot of ground quick. I'm glad he's safe.
