Our highs are high, and our lows are low around this place. Lost my black gelding Murphy 1 week ago to a lightning strike, and today lost a bay mare to an impaction of some sort. Brought her in as soon as she showed signs of being colicy, but it went from bad to worse in a hurry. In almost 3 days she didn't pass anything but urine, and everything we tried failed. Homeopathic stuff, essential oil salves, massage, mineral oil in her water - which surprisingly enough she drank without a fuss - but nothing would loosen up.
Damn shame when you lose good horses. Makes me think about how good they treat us, without asking much in return. If only our species could love like dogs and horses.
