Cooper


Cooper was a gift. I bought him as a move-up horse to take me from the 2'6 Hunters to the 3'3 hunters. I got him in December of 2014.

You may say that that was a short time, and you are right. But the short 7 and 1/2 months that I had with him were the best of my life.

He was a big bay Warmblood, in my barn just calling my name. And I was right. I don't regret buying him, I'm thankful for the time that I had with him. There are so many fun memories that I have with Coop from almost falling off, to jumping my first 3'6" oxers. And those are what I want to remember most about my sweet boy.

And when I got the call that there was an accident in the pasture, my heart broke into a million pieces. I was mad because there was so much promise in the future that we had together and now it's all gone. Cooper was a light in my life and to everyone that he taught. There will never be another Cooper and no horse will ever be able to relive what we shared.

Since the accident a couple days ago, whenever I go out to the barn, I feel his presence all around me telling me it's okay to move on. And I try my hardest everyday.

Cooper was a special horse and again I am so blessed that I was able to call him mine despite his freak accident. I love you, Coop, and know that you are in my mind and thought everyday and that I see you in the things that remind me of you.

You taught me to be strong when life may not be perfect or going your way. And I'm so grateful to have learned that. Please come back to earth, Cooper. I'll see you again. Until then...

Love,
Mia
