Yep, that is our stallion's dam. What a really sad, sad story for Hero's sister. We sold one of our favorite colts to some people out of Ok. some years back and within a year they called to see if we had anymore babies by this mare and stallion because come to find out the colt had been shot somehow in the pasture and he didn't make it!!! Needless to say, we were in shock and told them "No, as he was one the last of Go Man Go's grandet!"
To the op, I'm very sorry about your loss of Cricket.  |

Location: ND | So sorry  We lost a 2 year old to deer hunters a couple years ago. It's hard to accept it when it is such an unnecessary loss that could easily have been prevented. |

Location: Foot of the Smoky Mtns, East Tennessee | Thank for letting me share pics of Cricket and thank you for the hugs and prayers! Her dam is bred right now for a May foal that will be a full sibling to Cricket. I'm sure we will love it too.

We lost one in a similar manner. We believe the dumb*** was shooting at a big buck known to hang out near our pastures at home. The bullet ricocheted off a pump head and hit one of our old men right between the eyes (originally we thought a shot that accurate had to be intentional, it was not until the next spring when we turned the water back on to the barn that we discovered the pump head had been hit). Our minds were eased by the fact that he was old and winter was becoming harder and harder on him - he may not have made it much longer anyway and he died knee deep in good grass hay.
I can only imagine it's much harder losing a young one with so much potential ahead of them.
If you do feel the need to do something - write a letter to the editor if your local paper is well read. My mom did that every few months for about a year. It was comforting to her to think that somewhere the person who did it was reading it and hopefully feeling guilt to match our grief.
