Words won't help right now.  Just know that a lot of people are hurting
alongside you in spirit.
Next time you hear thunder, with no clouds in sight, it will be your boy
racing around the rainbow bridge.
He will be waiting for you when God calls you home.

Hi Jim,
I am  so sorry to hear of your great loss, I have gone through the pain 
myself, almost like you.   Every day I think about it,  14 years ago now. 
RIP

I know the 'old folks' of the fjord horse in North America are still here, 
so I wanted to let you know that my special boy passed today.  Colic got the 
best of him.


I posted this on facebook, a few sentences that tell you of the special bond 
he and I had.  He was my first horse, I got him at 40 years old, had him for 
11 years.  He absolutely knew he was on this earth to teach me the love of 
horses.  He succeeded in his objective.  I'm am heartbroken.


Yep, he was a special horse. I would lay on my back underneath him and clip 
his belly. He would stand like a rock. I know Ranec would die to protect me, 
I mean it when he was afraid to die and leave me alone - not because he 
loved me, but because he thought he had to protect me. We spent the day 
together, I honestly knew around lunch time it was the end, we spent the 
afternoon walking and talking, but he wasn't sure I would be ok without him, 
so he fought hard. We talked with our vet about options, and watched him. I 
told our vet he was dying, she couldn't hardly believe it, but she knew he 
was. He continued to fight while laying down, me hugging his neck and head. 
I whispered to him "I'll be all right Ranec, thank you for our time 
together" and I felt him exhale and that was it.


Jim and Kay Barnhart.
