Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I knew the day was coming to have to put her down, she was getting a bit run down and I knew it would be this winter cause last year the winter was hard on her, she didnt handle it very well lost weight, but when spring gets here she always gets back to normal weight, but not this year. She was really sweet, bought her so she could live her days out just being a horse and no more work for her. She was 25 when I got her and had her for the last 18 years of her life. ") |

Well, at least she got to live out her life with someone wonderful and caring like you. She could have died a long time ago if it wasn't for you and your care for her. |

This didn't happen to Roxie.. It happened to Pattie... I'm sorry but I'm the kind of person that would follow the blood trail back to where it started.... I promise you the bullet didn't go very far after it exited... I'd darn well find it and have the police enter the ballistics results into the nation-wide system.... It's a darn shame this horse lived 43 years only to be killed this way.. Kudos to Roxie for helping her to live this long. I know of at least one animal that will be waiting for her at the Rainbow Bridge... |

And I think you made a good point of following the blood trail I hadn't thought about that. I would try my hardest to find the bullet and see what comes of it.

'SRH... I KNOW you didn't mean anything wrong in your post.... and I didn't mean to jump on you... and I know the police in Texas have bigger problems to investigate than something like this... But to get a horse to that age only to have it die like this!!! She came up to the front looking for help... Had to hobble on three legs all the way... I'd have blood in my eye for the irresponsible shooter... |
