My day did not go well. I woke up to my room mate telling me one of the boys was down. We went out, got him moving, had the vet out, and than went up to a equine clinic to have him really looked at. The first vet said he had a impaction which is a different form of colic. The clinic told us his intestines were indeed twisted and most likely ether trapped through a hole in the muscle lining, or wrapped by a elongated tumor. So we choose to let him go since surgery wasn't a option.
He was the first horse I ever lost after working with him everyday for the past year. A freind and I started ridding the boys every week for exercise and even were on horseback tuesday when the earthquake here in va hit. The poor boy had never had colic in his life and was looking better after each ride!
I'll miss his sweet nature. when we found him this morning down, His buddies surounded him. Jeb was even tugging on his tail trying to get his buddy back up. They would always fight yet when it came to seeing yoda in a trailer being towed off. Jeb and the mini gelding tater were talking over the fence.

Really sorry about the loss of your horse. It never ceases to amaze me how deeply these guys get into our hearts and how badly it hurts to have to let them go. Where he is now, racing across fields of tender sweet clover, no tummy aches and will await your arrival to be reunited with the person he loves most. Hugs for your hurting heart.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. You gave your horse a good life, with trust loyalty and friendship and you were rewarded with with his unconditional love. Listen carefully and you will still hear his hoofprint as he watches over you.
