The relaxing process on NUNKI began with some ear rubbing and a favorite, rubbing the inside of a hind leg.
Even in her lame state, she was willing to rest on the injured left front leg for the short time it took to get her relaxed
and give her the shot.

Frank Bell, a professional horse whisperer did the shot, Milanne (Mimi) Rehor, head of Arkwild, Inc. and the
Abaco Wild Horse Fund, worked on the relaxation. Photos taken from a video shot by cinematographer Chris Nielsen.
