| I am so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose your "firsts," and especially hard when something like finding them dead in the pasture happens. It's hard enough making the vet appointment to have them put down...but it's harder for me when you go out to feed in the am and they are just...gone. I feel your pain and my prayers are with you. It's hard losing a great horse.  |

        Location: Kansas | You're so lucky he did this on his own. That decision to have to put him down passed out of your hands that way. I have a gelding turning 26 in a month. I hope he does the same for me.
Merry Christmas in spite of your loss.

      Location: stray dump capital of the world | I am so sorry for your loss. We lost my friend's daughter's mare the day before Thanksgiving to colic at the age 20. It has been so hard to watch the daughter struggle with this loss. She got the mare when both were 10 and they grew up with this little mare taking such good care of her girl.
I have two oldies in their 30s that I worry about going out and finding them. Both are fat and sassy butter balls, but you just never know.
Sending prayers your way. Such heartache comes with losing a member of our furry family.

| SO sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose those good old ones.
But it is also hard to watch the light and love of life drain from their eyes....
