Rain






Rain came into this world as a surprise to us. We had just purchased two horses, and over the course of the first few months of owning, we noticed the mare we bought was getting huge. Sure enough, she was expecting.

On April 6, 2008, Rain arrived. My husband discovered her during the morning routine. I will never forget that morning, it was love at first sight. She was so perfect and tiny. We watched in awe as she took her first steps and began exploring her world. We became fast friends and she would follow us everywhere. She would greet us in the morning with her little baby whinny and fly across the pasture to greet us. She was such a spunky little one.

Rain left us Friday March 6, 2009, with veterinary assistance, due to Congenital Heart Failure. She passed peacefully and quickly. At the moment she took her last breath both of the adults (her mother and her uncle) both laid down in the corral as a sort of "final respect" and a bold wind passed over us and tore across the pasture. We like to think that was our little girl taking one last run through our pasture.

Our hearts are broken that she had to leave us so soon, but we both know that she left knowing how much she was loved and will be waiting for us. We laid her to rest under a baby pine on our property so she could rest at peace near her family.

Lani and Brian
