Hey All,
I have some bad new to share. I just got a call from David (site memeber Grady - Yankee's Husband) that Bonnie (Yankee) had an accident on her horse (actual horse) and broke her back. She has some major spinal damage and the doctors say she may never walk again. She didn't suffer any other damage other than her back so she will pull through - but it's not going to be easy. She is in the Trauma Hospital in Santa Rosa but she can not have any visitors at this time other than family. I will post up a ride date once visitors are allowed and is a good time for a big group of us to go. David says that there is no contacting her at this time either and to please hold off until we get the go ahead.
The West Coast Warriors know Yankee to be one of the best riders and one of the best friends we have in the group. I first stared riding with Yankee several years ago and she was always on my tail. Now I can't even keep up with her as she now rides on Oliver's tail. Except when we are riding slow, she always has a smile on her face and something funny or warm to say.
Yankee is a Parole Office by day, a wife and mother by night, and hell on wheels on the weekends. We wish you a FULL and SPEEDY recovery Yankee and you will be in our hearts and thoughts each and every day.
~Love, Jody, Heather and Evan
