I think soon I'm going to understand how you feel. My mom has had 2 of our 3 horses for at least 18 years now. Frisco, my old horse, is blind in
one eye and can't hear so good. Sundance's knees are getting bad. It's going to be HORRIBLE when one of the two dies. Mom's going to
probally cry all day. I'm going to hate it myself.

To tell you the truth, I'm not a huge horseriding fan. I love to ride, but not just anywhere. For me to fully enjoy horseriding I have to be
somewhere new. Why would I take the time to saddle up a horse and get cramps later when all I'm going to see is my 35 acre pasture? I'd rather
walk and see that. But when we used to go up to Oneida, Tn to horseride, that was GREAT! There was just so much to see and do. We could
leave after breakfast and ride til dark. Great times.

Anyways, I really am sorry for the loss of your horse. Although not complete loss by death, a loss nontheless. But don't worry too much about
it. Life does go on. G'day!
