Andy was a wonderful horse
my mom has bred for years trying to make the perfect arab for my needs. He
was definitely it! He only got to go to a few shows, but the ones
he went to, he shone! He would win all his classes and loved doing
it.
He was definitely a comedian. He hated water but he loved to splash in it...and
he always managed to make you laugh even when you were angry with him. Which
was rare. He was so gorgeous, all the trainers at the show said that when
he finished growing and being trained, he would be a regional champion because
he had the presence a lot didn't have.
My mom woke me up that
morning to go do the barn. I took my normal slow self getting up when I heard
my mother scream. She managed to get it outta her mouth that he had died.
I ran to the barn as fast as I could, hoping it wasn't true! I ran into his
stall and hugged him. I couldn't believe it, how could a three year old die
like that. We had all these plans for him, and just like that they were all
gone! The rest of the day was a blur! We got the autopsy back and they
said it was colic. It's weird like I knew he was gone, but I kept thinking
the next day I would go to the barn and I'd hear him banging on his stall
for more attention and I could ride him. I just couldn't realize it.
He will always be with
us and when I go in that show ring with my other horse, I know he will be
in there helping me...and I know he will because I went to a show the weekend
after he passed and I won everything!
I only had him 3 1/2 years,
but they were the best three years I could have had with him. I guess
I should be happy I had him instead of reminicing on the times we should
have been able to have.
