A sweet old battle-axe of a mare went over the rainbow bridge today. She was euthanized late this afternoon. She had been going noticeably downhill in the last week with high temperatures and trouble eating her feed.
She told her owner (one of my best friends ever) that she wanted to go, it was time. So, arrangements were made and she went in peace.
A strange thing, we now live over 140 miles from my friend and her mare and my mare seemed to know something was wrong. She was strangely quiet today. I believe she knew her horse friend was going.
Now, go love on your horse...
