Horse Heaven

The injured mare was doing well enough that we slowly re-introduced her into the rest of the horses.  It was going very well.  She was almost walking without a limp, and I saw her canter for a very short distance.  Saturday night she rolled on the ground like horses sometimes do, but had troubles getting back to her feet.  When she finally got up there was a loud pop.  The poor thing broke her hip.  Thankfully a vet was available to put her down a couple hours later.  I'm missing that girl.  If there's a horse heaven, that's where she is now.

This picture was taken last August when I first acquired her.  She was just 7 years old.  I'm sure missing that pretty girl.
