The Horse: A Graceful, Majestic Animal. Most of the Time.

Jason Harschbarger from Pullman, West Virginia, was walking through his neighborhood when he came upon one of the weirdest sights he will probably ever see.

Gracie, a filly owned by Harschbarger’s neighbor, had (for an unknown reason) stuck her head in between two parts of a tree trunk and was unable to get out.

Harschbarger ran home and grabbed his tools. He was successful in cutting the horse loose by sawing through the wood surrounding her neck, but not before getting some pictures.

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
