This message is from: "dfle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't think you ever get over losing a horse you care about. I lost Whinnie (my husband called her that even though that wasn't her registered name) in May. I had her for 10 years. We thought she had colic --then the vets thought she was getting colitis and finally thought she was recovered only to have her get chronically ill. We took her to the University Vet Hospital and they even did surgery to find that her secum had collapsed into her intestine. The chances for recovery were slim and the cost was prohibitive so I had to make the choice not to cut out part of her intestine and replace it. She would have foaled this summer. The hardest thing to do. Sometimes I think I still see her in the spring pasture or hear her "whinnie." I have her last year's foal so little winnie will probably not get sold. Even though there are 15 other fjords at the farm, I miss her dearly. Another mare is also special but not a replacement for the one I lost.
You find others you love but keep those who were special in your heart. Rosemary ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at cmnt1.c-magic.com
