Lost a friend!!

Her name was Country, she wasn't special to most people, but my friend. She was a rescue taken in by my sister after her owner had died. You couldn't ride her, but she taught me so much about handling horses, especially bull headed ones!! We had many stand-offs out in the pasture. Wondering who would come out the so called winner!! Not really a competition but a lesson in patience and will power more than anything. I regret not spending more time with her, but after losing my own horse, my heart wasn't in it.

She will be missed!!:(

Country was beautiful - I'm sure she lived a very happy life with your sister!

aww she was beautiful. I am sorry for your loss.

So sorry that you lost her, like Robin said... I'm sure she had a great life with your sister.

I'm so sorry to read of her loss but happy that she knew the loving care of you and your sister in the last portion of her life.

Aww sorry to hear about your loss :(

I'm sorry for your loss- they're all special

Thanks everyone. It was a sad and happy day. Today we buried Country, and today was the day that my Joshua was delivered. I'll post a pic of him on another thread. So strange to have a new friend come in while grieving another. An absolute emotional rollercoaster. I had origanally planned on them being pasture buddies. Life takes some strange twists.

I'm sorry, Blu. It's hard to lose them for sure. Thinking of you...

aww im sorry! thats terrible. With every ending there is a new beginning:hug:.

Heartfelt sympathies to you Blu!!!!

Losing a friend (no matter WHAT kind) is ALWAYS sooooooo hard, but with a horse, there's just something that's just a little "more" that makes it harder.

Remember the good times.

:hug: and prayers to you for comfort.

Aw; sorry for your loss. I definately think that the stubborn horses have the most to teach us. Not like the aggressive ones; they are merely fighting for dominance. Not like the subservient, dull ones; they are already plodding through life without being much of a challenge. But those stubborn gals (I say gals; usually the ones I have known were mares, though my friend's donkey gelding is similar.) They are the real horses that train us.
Can't wait to see pics of the new arrival..

I'm very sorry to hear this...:(:( I also own a horse and I dont know I'd do with out her

Thanks everyone. Horses seem to be such a part of us once we know them. And as far as the new boy is concerned, he has settled in as if he has always lived here. He looks so at home!!:)

I'm so sorry. It sounds like she was very lucky to have you and your sister in her life.
