One of my horses died last night. He had colic and we could not help him.
I'm having a little trouble grieving about it. I have to get someone with a backhoe to bury him for us.
The trouble having pets is that they have shorter lives than you do. He was a 20 yr old registered grey Arabian. His name was Primo Tiempo. Maybe I should speak English. His barn name was Rags.
It's not easy to lose a pet. :hug: Although I've never had a horse, I think they are beautiful creatures. I've lost many pets over my lifetime, and it has hurt each and every time.
10. Oh Mountainman! I am so sorry to hear about Rags.
:cry: :hug: I lost a beautiful TB gelding to colic. It was devastating. :(
Primo Tiempo (great name!) must have been beautiful! Arabians are the most elegant of equines.
Get the backhoe ordered and take care of your other horses while you wait. You can hold a private service for Rags during the burial. You can braid part of his mane and clip it off to remember him by. That's what my equestrian friends do and it is comforting.
