The first time I ever laid eyes on my beautiful boy I knew he was the one. In Feb of 1997, in a sale barn full of horses, my heart leapt when I saw him. He was everything I ever wanted/envisioned. Even when I went back to see him after paying and making trailering plans and he pinned his ears flat back and gave me an evil look, I still knew he was the one!
For over 14 years together, so many endless rides - our minds/spirits connected - I will never forget him and all of his undying, devoted love. He was my Zen - I could be having the worst day in the world, walk up to him, bury my nose in his neck, inhale and feel a sense of calm/relief.
Putting him down was not a decision I made lightly and one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. You see, he wasn’t ill per say, just very bad arthritis in both knees and both hocks. He also had tendon and suspensory issues. I could tell he was uncomfortable every time I would watch him standing around. Shifting from one leg to the other, but with all four legs being affected he could not get away from the pain. He was on all sorts of supplements and bute (even tried Adequan) nothing seemed to really help. After consulting with my vet and farrier several times and having my telepathic communicator to guide me, I knew I had no choice but to do the kindest thing I could ever do for him: let him go.
I know he will forever be in my heart and soul. I will miss him terribly.
