Season of loss

The barn lost two of its seniors this month.

1983 - 27 March 2013

S was a very sweet boy. Countless people have learned horseback riding with S over the years. We'll miss him a lot.

17 March 1981 - 16 March 2013

E retired to our barn a couple of years ago. Another old lesson pony with hundreds of hours in the show ring. She's had all kinds of trouble with her feet but always managed a nicker when the treat bag crinkled.

You expect these things when you have seniors around and you prepare. But it doesn't help much. And nothing will make you miss them any less.

And then there's the sweetest cat there ever was.

2002 - 16 January 2013

May they all rest in peace. Enough sadness for this year I think.

  1. I am sorry to read of these losses. Our four legged friends enrich our lives so much. I hope these are the only losses your barn suffers this year.
