Cynthia..my heart just hurts reading your words. Sounds like the boys
were a tight group and had a great friendship.
Bless you for taking such great care of him so he lived a long and wonderful
life.
I'm about to have tears rolling down my face reading how the boys were
standing beside him...remembering when my black mare died out in the
pasture I watched my appy mare hold a vigil over her for hours that nearly
broke me into pieces. They were THEE best of friends..and testimony that
animals do have very deep feelings.
I am sorry for your loss..and for the loss of a friend to your other
horses.

Many of you have heard of Nigel, the Fjord-Arab cross I have boarded for
the
last 9+ years for the Keller family. He was part of our family, too. He
died
sometime early this morning after two days of efforts to save him from
colic. We are not sure how old he was but he was ancient. It is believed he
was one of the horses Finn Caspersen bred for competitive driving by Bill
Long. I don't know if he was part of the team. Vivian Creigh told me she
saw him show on the Florida circuit. He was great horse with a sly
personality but a willing partner for driving and riding. He took care of
his people. He was a real pal to Starfire Chiron (Teddy) because he would
play with him and Tank is not much into playing. But he was also Tank's
preferred companion and when they were separated for a short period, their
reunion was joyous. We found Nigel early this morning with Teddy and Tank
standing vigil over him. He will be missed by all who knew him.
