Re: Holunder's Passing
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I spoke to Ann Stifel yesterday to offer my condolences on the death of Holunder. She was suprised to hear that I knew about it. I explained that it had been reported on the Fjord List on the internet and that many people responded to the news offerring sympathy and support,she was very touched. Since Ann is not on-line it would be lovely to give her a call or write a note. She is very sad about Holunder as is her husband as Holunder was his favorite. They were both very happy to have had him for the time they did and speak glowingly of his presence and character. I am sure that his final years were quality ones. Vivian Creigh
Re: Holunder's Passing
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have lost horses before, but never found it as hard as when I lost my Fjord, Howdy. I cried for three months and I am a strong old lady. ( I am also not letting the vets forget either) Pardon me Steve and Brian, no reference to functioning vets. But is it the connection to our fjords?? Is it the friendliness? Is it an unknown emotion or instinct? Whatever, I feel very sorry for Holunders's owners and for his suffering. Even the word evokes a tightening of the throat.

He developed complications after surgery, including laminitis, which seemed to be improving and he came home to Virginia from NC State. He then developed severe colic, possibly due to adhesions or abscesses, and it was decided not to put him through another long ride, long surgery and the possibility of more complications that he would probably not survive in his weakened state. His passing was about 2 weeks ago. Sue Banks [EMAIL PROTECTED]
