My wife went out this morning before she went to teach school and Little H's paint mare was laying dead in the corral. She hadn't struggled at all from the scene and hadn't given us a hint of any kind something was wrong. Came to feed fine the evening before when I did the chores. We think she just layed down and died. Maybe a heart problem but we will never know. She was 13. My daughter is heartbroken. Angie called me at work at 7:30 and I made arraignments to head for home. Angie went and got little H from school and we all had a long cry and said our goodbyes. Then I buried her out near a couple other great horses we have been privileged to throw a leg over. If ya'll could keep little H in your prayers or send kind thoughts out this a way I'd sure be in your debt. Its a damn tough deal for sure. Death is as much a part of life as birth, but the timing was surely a shock. Somewhere up yonder there's a kind, little paint mare, loping along, missing a little girl tonight. Ya'll remember to love your kids and grandkids and spouses as much as ya can. And always take the opportunity to give your horse a hug when ya turn them loose.
