If you've had horses in your life and been caring for them for a number of years, the chances are that you may have lost one - through old age or illness or a tragic event. While I'm not going to get all sad here ... these lovely friends we've said goodbye to will never be forgotten - for all that they were and everything they brought into our lives. I'm remembering the sweet old mare, Susie, who came into my life not so long ago, and graced it with her lessons of trust and love. She died, quite tragically,nearly two weeks ago, and is missed very much. Her story is an inspirational one ... and causes me to encourage all horse people to give their older horses special care and loving. Just look in their eyes and you'll see the love and trust that they deserve in return. Rest in Peace, Susie ... and Thank You.
