We can't save the little mare I posted about in the last two journals. The farrier came out today, and he thought we might be able to do it, but when he picked up her right front hoof, he saw that she'd foundered too badly already. We could save her, but it would put her through a lot of hell and pain, so we made the humane decision to put her down. The vet is going to do it tomorrow. I'm all torn up about this, so forgive me if I don't answer you, or am inactive for a few days. What happened to Mama could have been avoidable. If those assholes had just taken care of her, then she'd still be alive tomorrow instead of being put down.

If you ever, ever, EVER, see any kind of animal abuse, no matter what kind of animal it is, or what kind of abuse, or neglect, please please please, I beg you, turn the owner over to the police, PETA, or whatever animal care society you think is proper to turn them over to. Animal abuse IS against the law. Neglect, IS abuse. And there IS a special level of hell for people who abuse and neglect helpless animals like my little mare.


R.I.P. Mama
I hope your wings fly you as fast and as far as your hooves once did.
I hope you find peace, and that your heart stays filled with love.


I love you my sweet girl.
