Tennesse Walker 30+ years old Date of Death: August 3, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. Luke was the "Perfect Horse" in all aspects. I first saw his face at the sale barn, and bought him immediatly and did not give him a chance to go through the auction. No words can describe our relationship. Luke was my first horse. I wanted one since I could walk 55 years ago. My husband, Dale, is my soul mate and spoils me rotton within reason, I would not be able to go through this without him or the people in the Hoofbeats In Heaven group. He is also sadly missed by his pasture buddies: Diablo, a bay Paso Fino, and Eli, a black and white Tennesee Walker, and mostly by my 10 year old grandaugther, Jasmine who also rode him bareback with a bitless bridle. I had to let him go and was being selfish in keeping him around just for me. As I looked in his eyes, they were empty, there was nothing left in the windows of his soul. He did not want to go either and fought to the last dying breath to stay with me. I know I did the right thing in letting him go but I just cannot get over the feeling that I let him down. I could feel how scared and bewildered he was feeling and why was I letting this stranger take his life from him like this. I love you sooo much Luke and will never forget you. I cry a stream of tears every day for you with an aching heart. Your Mom, Laurie
