    Oh no! I am so sorry for you and for Handsome. I lost one of mine about 18 months ago and I cried for days. He knew you loved him - horses can always tell and now he will be galloping around in ponyheaven with all the other wondeful horses who have left us.

    Horrible loss. Hope you're okay. The "welcome to farm life" does suck.

    Yeah, I really feel for DP. There is no real way to prepare for losing your first horse, even when you've only known him for 2 weeks. He's pretty sad about it. I'm sad, too, and I hate waking up to my second day of no Handsome He was just so beautiful, a perfect find. I told DP last night (as much as he's probably not ready to hear it yet) that at least Handsome has set the standard - if a horse we try doesn't feel completely honest we move on and keep looking.
    I have remembered, too, that when he came home and I told him the news he was holding out a bottle of Neatsfoot oil he had just picked up - for oiling his first bridle. I hate that his happiness and preparing to ride his horse was just ripped out from under him. He doesn't let himself get excited about much and he was uncharacteristically chuffed with himself this last two weeks.
    DS has taken it pretty well. He doesn't quite understand how a broken leg leads to death.
    Can't help picturing our magnificent creature all decked out in new rugs, head ****ed to greet us and get a feed. He had such a light walk when on the lead rope.
    We feel so deflated. A little bit inflated with the steers we now have on our farm, though, and more to come this week

    I'm so sorry.
    This poem always makes me cry, but when my first horse died, it really helped me. I still miss him & know that even though he left a big hole in my heart - he left it there to be filled by other horses.
    Sorry if it makes you cry, but I hope you appreciate the thought. Xx

    "Somewhere, somewhere ... in time's own space,
    there must be some sweet, pastured place ...
    ...where creeks sing on ... and tall trees grow,
    Some paradise where horses go.
    For by the love that guides my pen,
    I know great horses live again."
    ~ Stanley Harrison
