RIP poor Sioux.
Sioux was a mare at the stable where I board my horse. She was in her 20's but still doing great.
Well, last couple days she had colic symptoms but seemed better, so her owner left last afternoon and didn't come back to check on her.
A bad coldfront came through, with freezing rain and wind. Horses are really sensitive to that, so I made sure to give my girl extra hay and molasses water to drink.
Well, this morning poor Sioux was found lying in the freezing mud in her paddock, dead
I just hate the thought of her dying all alone in that horrid night. Made me hug my girl today and spend quality time with her. Went through 3 colics with her, spend nights out there alone. Scary stuff...
RIP Sioux, you were a great and faithful girl...
