My very good friend unexpectedly lost her mare today to a twisted large colon. Tears course down my face. How hard to lose a gentle friend. How heart wrenching to have that emptiness. Her horse lived her name, "Sweets". She was as generous a horse as there can be, taking many a rider safely on the trails and around the arena.
Sweets, you will be missed by many.

Somewhere in time’s own space,
there must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow,
some paradise where the horses go:
For, by the love that guides my pen,
I know great horses live again.

How very sad - sending best wishes to you and your friend.
