Courtesy of Roy Garibaldi Leonard Davis uses his tractor to pull a horse out of the mud. After playing in the annual sponsors' tournament at Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine, Davis flew home Wednesday to pick up some personal belongings. When he arrived at his five-acre home in Chandler, Ariz., he noticed a horse stuck in the mud across the street. "A horse was waist deep in a sinkhole, and I had to do something," Davis said Wednesday night. Davis drove his John Deere tractor across the street with friend Roy Garibaldi, a local talk show host. Davis put some straps on the horse's waist and used the tractor to pull "Ranger" out. "He goes from helping his wife to saving a horse's life," said Garibaldi, alluding to Davis' wife, Amanda, who underwent finger surgery. "Here's this big 360-pound NFL player doing something amazing." Courtesy of Roy Garibaldi Leonard Davis pets the horse after rescuing it. Davis cleaned the horse off with a hose as his neighbors, fire and police department officials looked on. "I was just doing what anybody else would have done," Davis said. "I wasn't scared at all. I grew up on a farm pulling cows and horses out of the mud. No big deal." Neat.
May 20, 200718 yr That's awesome, although I don't think he needed the tractor other than to be careful with the horse, haha.
