I even uploaded my favorite horse photos on horsematch.com and share them with many horse lovers there , but I lost my horse today to colic. I've had horses for 25 years and never even seen a case of colic until today. He was fine last night when I fed and now he's gone. I was there the day he was born 23 years ago and held him while he died. I wonder how long this is going to hurt, because I'm sure hurting tonight. I can't really show it either because I've got three little girls who are as stricken as I am looking to me to be the pilllar of strength when all I want to do is lay down and howl. My non-horsey friends and co-workers don't get it. How can I fill the hole in my soul where he used to be?
Answers:
1. I'm sorry for the loss of your baby...He had 23 good years with you...I had a horse colic once while i was away from the ranch, lucky one of my sisters got the vet in here in time. I have never had a horse do that before either and knock on wood never again.
Take some time to grieve and its ok if your kids see you cry, your human...
Again sorry for your loss

2. Oh, jeez! I am so sorry for your loss. There is no way around this kind of grief except through. Remember that your horse loved you. Go to the places and spend some time. Our amimals' memories live in us, and ours in them , just like with people, and even in death, just like with people. Love the memory. Live the loss. Be easy on yourselves, and celebrate the life that was. My thoughts are with you.
